The 2012 Argus Leader Tour de Kota™ will be held June 17–22, with the route beginning and ending in Dell Rapids, SD. This year’s tour will be a challenging ride full of inspiring prairie vistas, rolling hills and heartfelt community support.

Each year Tour de Kota™ travels the back roads and byways of our beautiful state of South Dakota. This year’s bonus is that we’ll also get to experience the lush farmlands of Iowa and Minnesota. An overnight stay outside South Dakota is a first. Marshall, Minnesota is welcoming the tour with open arms.  The outpouring of hospitality from each overnight community will leave a lasting impression. Riders are also touched by the kindness of dozens of small towns and cities long the way. It’s good friends, good food, and cycling stories that will last forever.

Training starts now! Many members of the Watertown Bicycle Club are veteran riders of TDK. They are more than willing to share cycling and training tips with you. Indoor cycling classes are just one of the ways you can get some training in this winter. The more time you can log in on the saddle now will pay off on the tour in June!!!! Join us for a Sunday Pacing Class.
