BIKING JERSEYS: Want a fun keepsake of this year's tour? Order a biking jersey! Several options to choose from, including short sleeve, long sleeve, sleeveless (women's only), and even a cool button-down shirt. The online store closes on Wed., April 22. Orders will be shipped out to you at the end of May.
Order HERE!
TENT SERVICE: If you'd like to camp with the larger group but would prefer not to have to bring/set up a tent yourself, consider our tent porter service. Back for their 7th year with us, the crew from Joey's Happy Campers will set up/take down an 8'x7' 4-person size Lynx by Alpine tent in each host city. Amenities include a shade tent, a power charging station, daily towel service, complimentary snacks/NA beverages, chairs, and access to a supply of twin-size air mattresses to use during the week.
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.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Our posted cancel by date is May 1, by which we will refund your registration fee, minus $100 (and the transaction/processing fee that goes to GetMeRegistered and not us.) This is our normal policy. We do allow transfers (to someone you find), but the new person still needs to fill out the registration form and waiver.
DEMOGRAPHICS: We have over 275 registered so far coming from 26 different states and Canada. Our oldest is 87 and youngest age is 17. The average age is 64, which would be a good time to mention that we offer a 40% discount for anyone 22 and younger and a 20% discount for anyone 40 and younger. Keep that in mind if you have children or grandchildren you were considering inviting along. The daily shorter mileage options and fun activities make it doable and welcoming to those that don't typically do bike tours.
CONNECTING WITH OTHER RIDERS: One of our veteran riders oversees a chat group page on Facebook, called T.O.M.'s Chain Gang, where you can introduce yourself, connect with other riders, ask each other questions, etc. 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 April 15! Until then, see our updated Rider Guide and/or our 2026 TOUR INFO tab on our website.
