Trails are fully marked and riding great.  We only got a trace amount of rain this morning.  No rain predicted until after the race tomorrow - See you there!

A minor adjustment to the kids comp course was made for safety.  This was already marked correctly during pre-ride.  See the map in the kids comp section below.

Welcome to the Gamehaven Lakeside Grind. This race is held at the Gamehaven Scout Reservation – a beautiful 265 acre camp and the Gamehaven Sports and Activities Park  – Rochester’s newest 460 acre regional park with a 42 acre lake. Gamehaven has been a popular site for Minnesota High School races the past 4 years. Trails are built and maintained by volunteer members of the Rochester Active Sports Club. New trails are being added each year.

The Minnesota Series Kids Fun Race is designed to give children an opportunity to compete like their parents in a positive and fun environment. The Race is free to children ages 3 to 12.  Parent cyclists ride and race with the kids, providing motivational and physical support.

Race starts at 12:45 PM! Helmets are required. Register on-site only by 12:30pm.

** You must register for the Kids Fun Race at the registration table.
