The 6th Annual Apple Blossom Bike Tour on Saturday, August 11 features four rides ranging from 15-60 miles. Rides are along the Mississippi River or atop the bluffs, rolling past our namesake apple orchards. The registration form is available online at IMAthlete. Routes are laid out on our website at www.appleblossomtour.org.

Included in the fee are meal and beverage tickets good at Lizfest, a festival we have partnered with that occurs at the park; the finish for the rides. Lizfest will have food, live music, beverages, games and children's activities.

Greg LeMond, who has family in the area, joined us for the rides in 2016 and we are hopeful he will return again this year. As you know, he is still in France on duty as an Ambassador to the Tour de France. I hope we see you and club members here in a few weeks. The weather forecast is a great day for biking!
