67 and 100-mile riders will start at 7 a.m. at Clear Springs Elementary. The 15 through 57- mile riders will start at 7:30 a.m. at Minnetonka High School. All rides will end at The Minnetonka High School. More details for riders and volunteers can be found on the Tour de Tonka website.


On the district website, Tour de Tonka Director, Tim Litfin said “Tour de Tonka is unlike other bike rides in the state and in the Upper Midwest. One major reason is our excellent volunteers that engage and assist the riders. Every year our riders tell us through a post-event survey that the level of commitment, the volunteers, the routes, the music, the rest stops, the mass start, the door prizes, the energy, the vendor fair, the food, the free wicking shirt and more make Tour de Tonka a one-of-a-kind event.”


“Bicycle riders participate because Tour de Tonka is pure fun,” Litfin said, “All ages and all abilities – from families and recreational bicyclists to cycling teams and serious athletes –enjoy what Tour de Tonka offers them.”


Tour de Tonka has had a large impact on the community for 11 years now. A portion of each rider’s registration fee is donated to the local ICA Food Shelf, allowing people the opportunity to make an impact with their ride. Riders may also donate money or non-perishable food items on or before the day of the ride.


Don’t miss out. Come and see for yourself what has made Tour de Tonka Minnesota’s best ride in just a decade’s time! Register today for the best price for a great cause.
