The Rochester BBQ Loop is a thrilling motorcycle ride through the scenic driftless roads of southeastern Minnesota, packed with rolling hills, winding curves, and stunning countryside views. Riders set out to explore some of the best twisty backroads the region has to offer before making a well-earned lunch stop at John Hardy’s BBQ in Rochester, famous for its smoky, slow-cooked meats and bold flavors. After refueling, the adventure continues with more exhilarating turns and elevation changes, carving through the hidden gems of Minnesota’s driftless area before looping back home. This ride is the perfect mix of great roads, great views, and great food!
