BikeMN’s newest ride in SE Minnesota – Saturday May 24th 2025
A New Annual Tradition – Every Saturday Before Memorial Day!
Join the team behind BikeMN’s Chapter, We Bike Rochester, to celebrate the great trail network that meanders around Minnesota’s third largest city! We Bike Rochester has been instrumental into bringing community engagement around biking and walking for years and has been wanting an event like this to highlight local businesses, beautiful natural areas, and fun of the Rochester area! Hundreds of volunteer hours have been utilized to repair bicycles for community members, host educational programming, and work to improve safety and access around the city.
FREE Kid Friendly Obstacle Course at the Start from 10am-12pm.
Thanks to our friends at Olmstead County expect an area just for Meandering Kiddos to navigate. This was a huge hit year 1 of the MCM! No need to register – just show up and cruise the course! Join the after party at Little Thistle after the obstacle course wraps up and join up with the rest of the family who may be riding the full Meander course!
Check-in Details – Yes, you can register on the morning of the ride (but you’ll save BIG by getting tickets in advance)!
The tour starts and ends at Cascade Lake Park. Check-in has been extended to 8am-10am to give riders more time and reduce congestion! Rest stops and SAG support services end at 2pm – join us at the Little Thistle After Party from 1pm-4pm. Riders will enjoy food and drink at rest stops along the route. Helmets are required: Protect your melon! Safe cycling to all Meander riders!
After Party Finish!
All routes guide riders to Little Thistle Brewing a short distance from Cascade Lake Park start. Little Thistle has kindly offered just $5 pints for MCM riders. Food trucks, NA beverages and live music are likely too! Little Thistle also offers Bicycle Benefit discounts all year long!
Live Music Lineup!
The 2025 MCM features the return of Loud Mouth Brass at Peace Plaza from 10:30am-11:30am, and Gina & Evin of My Grandma’s Cardigan at Little Thistle after party from 1pm-3pm.
