What Makes This Ride So Special?

The Saint Paul Classic isn’t a race—it’s a celebration on wheels. Riders of all ages and skill levels come together to cruise along car-free parkways, tree-lined boulevards, and scenic trails. Along the way, you’ll be treated to live music, friendly faces, and rest stops stocked with fresh goodies. It’s like a rolling block party that just happens to come with some of the best views in Saint Paul.

    • The Lollipop Loop (about 13–15 miles) is perfect for a relaxed morning ride.

    • The Grand Round (29–33 miles) takes you on a longer adventure through five regional parks, trails, and historic neighborhoods.

  • Live music at every stop: From bluegrass to jazz, Cajun to folk, you’ll discover talented local musicians waiting to keep your spirits high.
