20th annual TRAM Ride comes to a close
Nearly 1,000 cyclists crossed the finish line in Welch Village Friday, July 31, completing the five-day Bike MS: Star Tribune TRAM Ride. The 20th annual ride is expected to raise approximately $850,000 to help end multiple sclerosis.
To commemorate the 20-year milestone, the 2009 ride took cyclists back to a border-to-border route, similar to the original 1990 TRAM. Cyclists took off Monday from Ortonville, Minn., and traveled through Montevideo, Minn., Redwood Falls, Minn., St. Peter, Minn., and New Prague, Minn., before crossing the finish line in Welch Village near Red Wing, Minn., Friday, July 31.
