To golf with someone specific, please note his/her name on your registration. Please confirm with the group before registering to make sure they are golfing or they have room on their team for you. Individual players without a team designation will be assigned to a team.

Bike Ride
Join us for MMUA's annual bike ride on the black-topped Paul Bunyan Trail. The ride will start and end at Trailblazer Bikes, located in Nisswa next to the trail. The ride will be out and back so you can turn around at your desired distance. It will be an afternoon of fun and beautiful Minnesota scenery.
You can register online at tinyurl.com/MMUA-bike-2022 or use a printable registration form. We will also take registrations the day of the ride if you prefer to wait and see what the weather will do. When registering online, you will be directed to a site through Constant Contact. There is no charge for the bike ride, but you are responsible for the bike rental if needed.
Bike rentals can be reserved online with Up North Bike Rentals or call 218-821-5399. You will pay for the rental when making reservation online. If you call, you will pay when you pick up your rental. The bike shop is located near the trail at 5476 City Hall Street in Nisswa.
