Rivers, Lakes, and Fields

THE RIVERS, LAKES, & FIELDS (RLF)

Two great rides this year:

Event Dates

• Stillwater: Sunday, August 9, 2026
• Northfield: Saturday, September 12, 2026

Overview

Two rides are better than one! Two great bicycle events have come together to form the “Rivers, Lakes, & Fields” tri-series. Ride one ride by going to the individual website and connecting to that registration only.

REGISTER HERE FOR BOTH RIDES: and you will get a special reduced overall price!

Two beautiful biking locations (Stillwater and Northfield) and two fun and exciting events. Register and ride both. Each ride is presented by the local Rotary Club, so the proceeds from both rides go towards “Doing Good in the World” through Rotary.

Participants who ride both rides will be eligible for cash prizes again this year.

Riders will all take off from the Dundas Dukes Ballfield, 214 1st Street S, Dundas MN - just a short distance from downtown where the Defeat of Jesse James Day activities are taking place. Routes will vary from a short family ride to a century ride, gravel rides, and distances in between.
