Tour de Tonka - Cycle

The normal bike ride was cancelled this year and a virtual tour announced. There were a few shorter challenges/events during the week and then a self-guided ride on normal riding day. They said to ride one of the routes, but we rode from home instead and created our own plan. Since we wouldn't have any support I felt it was better to stick to some trails so I made this route that still circumnavigated Lake Minnetonka.

We (me, Bob and our friend Kevin) had a good time. The flat gravel trails get a little tedious over time so I was glad for the road segment in the middle. We stopped for lunch at a brewery, which hit the spot. Not something we'd do during the normal event!

We had signed up for the 62 mile route but I wasn't super excited about the longer mileage, so we did this instead.

Virtual race this year - they did a good job of planning but I think ultimately was a bit of a flop as far as attendance goes. My enthusiasm for a virtual race is all used up this year.
