INDIVIDUAL EVENT INFORMATION:

Bridge the Valley – Bike Rally

Presented by: Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club

Sunday, August 11, 2024

Stillwater, MN

We invite you to ride our third annual bike ride on August 11, 2024, sponsored by Stillwater Sunrise Rotary. You will experience the beauty of the St. Croix Valley using our trail systems, roads, and beautiful bridges. 
 

With five ride options, this ride is perfect for all riders, from novice to experienced. For "early bird" registrants who register by June 1, all rides are $40 for adults over 18 years of age, $25 for youth ages 6 to 17, and free for kids under 6. There also is a family category for up to 5 riders for $90. All roads and trails are blacktopped, with the exception of our Gravel Challenge ride. Pick just one loop from the progressively more challenging options or combine several to fit your age, ability, and interest on the day. This event is a rally and your start time depends on the length of ride you are doing. For riders who are up for a challenge, see how you stack up against the rest of the riders with integrated, timed sections on the St Croix Gravel Challenge route. 

 All rides start and finish at Chestnut Plaza, immediately west of Stillwater’s historic Lift Bridge.  The event Support Hub is located next to the Lift Bridge in North Lowell Park. Event information, day-of registration, and a fenced and monitored bike corral will be available.  Downtown Stillwater has many attractions and businesses within walking distance of the Support Hub so participants can take in all that Stillwater has to offer.  Stick around after the ride for food, drinks, and music in North Lowell Park!

Discover beautiful Prior Lake and Scott County as you pedal your way through quaint towns, picturesque lakes, and rolling farmland. Pedal Prior has something for everyone! 

Our family-friendly 11-mile ride is on sidewalks and trails, taking you to a beautiful local park. For the more advanced riders, our 40 and 69-mile routes head south through scenic towns and farms to our energetic rest stops that will fuel your body and soul to the finish line where you can vote for your favorite one. But the excitement doesn't stop there...
 

All rides begin and end at the Lakefront Park where you can relax and be proud of your accomplishment, enjoy some goodies from the Prior Lake Farmers Market on Main Street, a drink at the local brewery, or ice cream. This year we have a free bike rodeo for kids 8 and under to learn basic bike skills and safety.
