Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Mendota Heights à Minneapolis

Set off from the peaceful suburb of Mendota Heights, renowned for its leafy neighborhoods and quick access to the Mississippi River. This ride takes you mostly along beautifully maintained cycleways, so you’ll hardly interact with traffic—perfect for stress-free pedaling! The route is about 21 km long, gently rolling over just enough hills (around 178 meters up, 196 down) to keep things interesting, but nothing too taxing.

You’ll spin through a blend of urban parks and tree-lined paths, eventually rolling into the vibrant heart of Minneapolis. Known for its lakes, bike-friendly streets, and buzzing culture scene, Minneapolis is a fantastic destination for cyclists. The entire route is almost completely paved (asphalt and concrete), so you can expect a smooth ride all the way. Bring your camera—there are plenty of river and city views to justify a stop or two!
