Segment: Welch → Red Wing
Distance: ~9.6 miles one way (~19.2 miles round trip)
Surface: Fully paved, smooth asphalt
Grade: Gentle, rail-trail style (easy on a trike)

🚴 Ride Highlights
Welch Station: Good place to start, with parking and restrooms.

🔋 Tips for Tadpole Trike Riders
Trail Pass: The Cannon Valley Trail requires a Wheel Pass (daily or seasonal) for riders 18+.
Turning Space: Plenty of width for a tadpole trike, though it narrows on bridges.
Rest Stops: Benches and shaded areas along the way; Red Wing has cafés and restaurants.
Electric Assist: If you have e-assist, you’ll cruise easily, but even without it the grade is mild.
Round Trip Consideration: If 20 miles feels long, you could do one-way and shuttle.
