Why:  To celebrate the coming of summer by enjoying “A sweet roll along a sweet trail!”  It will be a pleasant ride on the Lake Wobegon Trail and a chance to enjoy a sweet caramel roll!  We want to encourage everyone, especially families with their children, to get out and enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise and do something fun together as a family.  Start a new tradition in your family and join us for this wonderful annual fun ride on the Lake Wobegon Trail!

Benefit:   Funds raised will help provide funding for the Lake Wobegon Trail Association to continue to promote the trail. The Lake Wobegon Trail Association will contribute part of the proceeds of the ride to support the construction of the Holdingford Covered Bridge.
