Caramel Roll Ride | Lady Slipper Ride | Caramel Apple Ride
Each year enjoy three bike rides on the Lake Wobegon Trails sponsored by the Lake Wobegon Trails Association. The rides are family oriented rides, tours really, not intended to be a race but a chance to get out and enjoy a wonderful day in Central Minnesota on one of the best trails in the state.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at our rides this summer!
