Stage Three – Cannon Falls Road Race

June 11, 2009

Cannon Falls, located just 35 miles from Saint Paul, is one of Minnesota’s favorite tourist destinations. It is the trail head for the Cannon Valley Trail, the Midwest’s premier bicycle trail, which runs from Cannon Falls to Red Wing. Cannon Falls also offers the Cannon River Winery, excellent antique shops and great places to eat in its historic downtown.

The Cannon Falls Road Race winds through scenic Goodhue County before finishing on a circuit in downtown Cannon Falls. This race proved to be decisive in 2006, with small groups gaining minutes on the chasing packs in both the men’s and women’s races. Riders who failed to make it into these breakaways had no shot at the yellow jersey for the rest of the Nature Valley GP.

Cross winds can break up a race just like long mountain climbs. The Cannon Falls Road Race course offers little shelter, so expect the pack to shatter if it’s a windy day.

Women’s Pro/Elite Race: 60 miles
Men’s Pro/Elite Race: 60 miles
Finish: Four laps of the Cannon Falls finishing circuit
