 And today was day one of that bicycling around Minnesota event. Bikers from all over the Midwest traveled from Walker to Bemidji and just about everywhere in between. 64 miles on the day for the bikers who camped for the night along Lake Bemidji near Paul and Babe. Now the event tour continues through Sunday with cyclists traveling 65 to 75 miles each day. Brings in a lot of money to the communities. There's all these people coming and they need a place to eat. They need a place to have a beer, maybe pick up some souvenirs and things like that so that people come to get some exercise, see new country and see old friends because most of these people you see them when they show up they're seeing people that they haven't seen for a year. So they bring fresh money to the community and they will probably be coming back to eventually in the future. The bikers will also stay overnight in Park Rapids and Staples before finishing up on Sunday right where they started in Walker.
