One of our nicest Rochester routes, this ride travels through Chatfield, Rushford, Houston, La Crescent, Nodine, Money Creek and Stewartville along some great roads and a section of the Root River trail. Trip highlights include the Root River Valley and views of the Mississippi River above La Crescent on Apple Blossom Drive. There are a few good elevation challenges along the way too, including Happel Hill, Apple Blossom Dr and Money Creek but the scenery and quiet roads make this a great route to enjoy.
