##Jaunt with Jim Jim Klobuchar runs an annual week-long bike ride (now in in its 37th year) somewhere in Minnesota or an adjoining state (2012 is reputed to be planned for Wisconsin). The group is generally about 125 people, most in the 50-70 age range. Daily mileage varies greatly from day to day and year to year, from 35 to 80, with usually about 350 miles total in 6 days riding.

Definitely not a race, but no inn-to-inn puffball ride either. Riders have not been "self-contained" in 20-odd years (except for one holdout), and there is a repair van, but no organized sag support. Camping is in schoolyards and the like (there is a luggage truck), with meals usually arranged.
