0 フォロワー

Bicycling Around Minnesota (BAM) is a nonprofit organization with a focus on highlighting Minnesota communities to an ever growing bicycling audience. BAM is a four-day ride covering 60 to 80 miles each day with overnight stays in four host cities. It is aimed at moderate to experienced cyclists. Although camping is encouraged, a limited number of motel or hotel rooms are generally available as an option.The goals of BAM are to promote Share the Road, the scenic bikeways system of Minnesota, fitness, tourism and bicycling as transportation.The concept for BAM came from various individuals and members of the State Bicycling Advisory Committee (SBAC), which is now the Minnesota Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee (SNTC).In 2006, BAM held its inaugural ride with 30 participants, who rode from Park Park Rapids to Walker and Longville before returning to Park Rapids. Our initial partners included MnDOT (working through the SBAC), the Hiway Federal Credit Union, and the Headwaters Regional Development Commission. Services and accommodations were limited. Three breakfasts and one dinner were provided and Dero Bike Racks transported luggage and served as SAG.
