Grand Rounds Bike Tours: Mississippi River (55+)

Explore with a Minneapolis Parks Naturalist the deep and important connection this city has with water, both historically and today while touring the Minneapolis Grand Rounds on your bicycle. Planned stops along the way will offer opportunities to learn and discuss the highlighted features and history of individual tours.

Each session will start and end in the same location and will be between 10-14 miles roundtrip. Please bring your own bike, helmet, and water. There is also an option to stay and socialize with the group for lunch after the program (bring your own picnic or dine from one of the near-by establishments).

This 13-mile ride focuses on the mighty Mississippi river with conversations about its health and history with time to check out the recently refurbished Stone Arch Bridge.  This ride will begin and end near Mill Ruins Park.

Program will be cancelled when environmental conditions are not suitable for safe biking. This includes severe weather, thunderstorms, or steady rain with wind speeds exceeding 15 mph, or when MPRB thresholds for excessive heat and air quality are surpassed.
