Join the Cannon Valley Velo Club for the 10th annual Tour de SAVE, formerly Tour de Nick bike ride through beautiful Rice and Goodhue counties east of Northfield, MN. There are several routes available for everyone from families to the serious rider. Choose from three ride lengths, 10, 20 and 50 miles; the 10-mile route is perfect for the casual rider and families, The 20-mile route will offer a bit more distance while the 50-mile route will offer challenging hills and beautiful vistas.
