Rock-n-Roll the Lakes 2026

As the hometown of rock-n-roll icon, Eddie Cochran, as well as Marian Ross, (also known as Mrs. C from Happy Days), Albert Lea knows how to rock!

All courses hug picturesque lake shores and offer a variety of beautiful southern Minnesota scenery. There's a great chance you’ll spot one of the many eagles, pelicans, and countless other birds and wildlife that live in the area and love the local lakes.

We have food stops along the route and great music lined up for all ages to enjoy. So come along with us for a fun, family-friendly ride, great tunes, and a rockin' good time!

Enjoy 10-, 30-, or 50-mile route options: The tour starts and ends at Central Park in Albert Lea, MN. Check-in opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 a.m. If you are riding the 50-mile route, please start no later than 9:00 a.m. Three courses are designed to offer the most scenic and pleasant routes.
