Registration is open for the 46th anniversary of the Minnesota Ironman® Bicycle Ride and the 2nd annual Minnesota Grand Fondo! Ride date is Sunday, May 6, 2012. Early bird registration until Feb. 15th. This is a great ride for early spring training. The weather can be challenging but many Watertown Bicycle Club riders have lived to tell the tale!
Any event with a 46 year history needs to inspire itself to greater challenges and rewards for its riders. In 2011 the Minnesota Gran Fondo, a timed bike event, was added to the Ironman Ride. This event will run concurrently, same time and same routes, as the traditional Minnesota Ironman. There is something for everyone – 17, 30, 68 and 100 miles. The 17 mile route is great for youth and families and adults new to bicycling.
