About 'Area Rides' Section

The 'Area Rides' is a new section to the Red River Valley Tourism Association website. We have found that many folks in the beautiful Red River Valley area have one or more favorite 'rides' they like to share with others.

We are targeting motorcycle riders and roadster tourers, but these ride routes can be run and enjoyed by anyone.

We have started here with just a few rides, and will add more as time progresses and as friends and neighbors submit more. To submit a ride for consideration for inclusion in this area, see Submit a Ride, below.

If you have any general suggestions regarding this section, please email those to the above email address.

We are currently using Google Maps for the Ride Routes. These are interactive maps and you can download the data, print directions and get more information from the Map. You can also FIND things on Google Maps and download them to your GPS. Click HERE for more information regarding sending Google Map information to your Garmin GPS.
