here is a lot of pristine beauty to be
discovered Up North, and one of the
best ways to get up close and personal
with all the area has to offer is by bike. Whether
you bring your own or rent one, you’ll have
access to a wide variety of bike trails in Central
Minnesota.
Perhaps the best way to find the hidden gems
in the region is to go cycling with a group. The
Central Minnesota Bicycle Club (CMBC) rides at
a different location between Little Falls and St.
Cloud every week and rotates between Monday
and Thursday bike rides. Some are 10-to-20 mile
road rides, and some rides are on trails. Not only
do you get a lot of exercise when riding with a
club, you get to enjoy a little comradery.
