Country Style 50 Mile on Nov 2: A Laid-Back Farewell to Fall Biking

As the fall gravel season wraps up and shoulder season sets in, the Country Style 50 Mile marks a laid back farewell to another season of gravel before winter takes over. Now in its fourth year, this relaxed fall ride rolls out from Angry Catfish on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.

Expect a little bit of everything from gravel, pavement, bike path, two-track, and singletrack as you meander through the beautiful Minnesota River Bottoms. It’s not a race, just a chance to soak up the last feelings of fall with friends.

The 50-mile route takes about five hours, with a gas station at mile 30 and a few bars and restaurants around mile 40 in Mendota. Run a tire size 42c or larger to handle the sandier sections this year, and don’t forget some snacks.

It’s free to ride, but if you’re feeling generous, toss a few bucks in the babysitter fund. Meet at Angry Catfish at 9:15am and roll at 10:00am sharp.
