At
Tour of Saints, enjoy an active weekend of R&R (riding & relaxing)
Hit the trail: Lake Wobegon Trail
Hit the road: Tour of Saints
Arrive in St. Joseph on Saturday to explore the
Lake Wobegon Trail. Then get a restful sleep at the College of St.
Benedict, where private guest rooms are available exclusively for Tour
of Saints riders. Wake up Sunday at the Tour of Saints start, and
avoid that pre-dawn car trip! For more information, visit the Home
page.
The Lake Wobegon Trail traces 44 miles of the
former Burlington Northern rail line from St. Joseph, MN (home of Tour
of Saints) to Sauk Centre. Another 20 scenic miles trace the old
Soo Line from Albany northeast through Holdingford, and finally across
the Mississippi River on a new trail bridge, ending at Hwy 10. |
