"Tour of Lakes 2011" will be
announced later. Please check back.
Experience the beautiful Brainerd Lakes area
as you ride past lakes and forests on low traffic rolling to flat terrain.
An occasional hill can be found as well. Our tour
promises an abundance of beautiful scenery, fresh air,
terrific rest stops and a different route each
year. The "Tour of Lakes Bicycle Ride" is a one day recreational ride for
cyclists of all abilities. IT IS NOT A RACE.
The "Tour of Lakes Bicycle Ride"
is a not for-profit bicycle tour hosted by the Paul Bunyan Cyclists Bicycle
Club. Any surplus revenues are used to promote safe cycling in our
community. The ride is held rain or shine.
We offer two route choices of
approximately 35 and 70 miles. Our ride is limited to 1,200 riders. We
have a May 1 registration deadline. Both
routes are well marked and fully monitored by support vehicles to aid in
emergency situations. Due to the large number of participants,
priority will go to those with serious problems. Riders and their
equipment are expected to be in good condition. As on all other rides,
cyclists should carry tools, a pump and a spare tube.
Check in will start at
6:00 a.m.
and close at
8:00 a.m.
Riders are permitted and encouraged to start as soon as possible after check
in. All riders should be on the road by
8:00 a.m.
These start times should allow most riders to return to the start area by
mid-afternoon. All riders must plan to be off their respective routes by
3:00 p.m.
The last rest stop will close at
2:30 p.m.
and official course support will end at
3:30 p.m.
T-shirts are handed out at check
in from
6:00 a.m.
and
8:00 a.m.
We are greatly concerned about the safety of our participants. All riders
must obey the rules of the road, watching out for others as well as
themselves. Our tour is entirely on public roads, and we must cooperate
with other users. We require the use of an
ANSI
approved helmet by all entrants.
We are known for the quality, variety and quantity of the food at our rest
stops. Plan to be pleasantly surprised!
