The summer riding season is here and there's a few bike runs coming up in the area. Even if you don't ride, you can be part of most of them. Here's the details of each of them.

Bike runs are amazing to see, as hundreds of motorcycles pass by. It's even cooler to be a part of them, riding miles and miles on the open road with other bikers on every side of you. If you've never rode in one, it's an awesome experience with some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Here's a few of the upcoming rides I've found happening in central Minnesota as soon as this coming weekend! Keep in mind that even if you don't ride, come out to them and partake in the events happening after the ride.
