Home Satellite Tracking Ride Itinerary Friends & Volunteers Donate Online Why Us
Here is the description of the ride route and itinerary for riding for smiles, Minnesota to the west coast ride. This may change due to weather, road construction, and additional rest days. It’s to give riders an approximation of where we are so those riders wishing to join in with us for the ride might be able to make better plans. Always check the SPOT tracker link to find the exact location. It is updated every 10 minutes and will be turned on ½ hour before the ride begins and then turned off after we have stopped at the end of the day.
