DIGITAL MAPS/TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS:

Want these maps/turn-by-turn directions on your mobile device? The Tour of MN pays for a "club membership" so you can access electronic versions for free. Do NOT pay for any membership offered. Simply download the app and create a Ride w/ GPS account, if you do not already have one.

COMMUNICATION DURING THE TOUR:

Once we are on the tour, we will communicate in the following ways:

• nightly Q&A sessions 7:15 p.m. in camp (location TBD)
• message board at charging station
• periodic and timely texts on your phone via the Remind app*

The Remind app is free but you will need to download it to your phone. You will be asked to provide your birthdate to show that you are above the minimum age (13.) You will also be asked to choose a "role", like student, parent, or teacher. It does NOT matter which role you pick, BUT... you do need to pick from the links below and follow the directions it provides to sign up, which may include downloading the (free) app if you don't already have the app on your phone. I use this app with my students and families at my school. Everyone gets the same message, but we can only have so many people in each of the groups, so that's why we have several groups offered. Think of it like a message that goes out to every family in a whole school, but the families are divided into different classes/groups. Don't overthink it! Also, don't try to search for the Tour of MN on Remind, as this is a private chat group. You need to use the link(s) below AFTER you have the app downloaded on your phone.

Do this right now at home while you have easy access to Wi-Fi!

VIRTUAL Q&A: (SAVE THE DATE)

We are holding a virtual meeting on Monday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. Central time, for people to ask questions, get the latest updates, and anything else that comes up. Use this MEETING LINK that night. Room will open at 7:20 p.m.

TOWEL SERVICE:

Want a clean fresh towel each day in camp as you hit the showers? Sign up for our towel service. NOTE: Towel service is complimentary with the tent porter service, so no need to sign up here.

TRAINING FOR TOM:

Keep riding your bike a few times each week. If you haven't started...START!

CONNECTING WITH OTHER RIDERS:

Check out T.O.M.'s Chain Gang, on Facebook, where you can introduce yourself, ask each other questions, etc. with other participants ahead of and during the tour. NOTE: This group is NOT an official part of the Tour of MN. We have our own separate FB page.

Look for another message on June 1, including links for the virtual Q&A, optional excursions, and massage!
