🚴 About Tour De Bar

For nearly four decades, Tour De Bar has brought friends, families, neighbors, and local businesses together for a day of fun, fellowship, and community giving.

What began as a bicycle ride through local establishments has grown into a beloved White Bear Lake tradition and a powerful fundraising event dedicated to helping local individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.

This is not a race. Tour De Bar is a fun, hop-off-style event where participants travel between stops at their own pace, enjoy the community atmosphere, and celebrate together.

🎉 Funky costumes encouraged!

Many riders dress up in creative, colorful, and themed outfits to add to the fun.

🚲 Don't bike? No problem!

You can still join the festivities, meet friends, support the cause, and participate in the raffle.

🎟️ Come for the raffle!

Purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win amazing prizes generously donated by local businesses, organizations, and community supporters.

🍻 21+ Event

Participants must be 21 years or older and should be prepared to present valid ID at check-in.

Each year, riders, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participating establishments come together with one common purpose: to make a meaningful difference in the life of someone in our community.

The 38th Annual Tour De Bar Bicycle Benefit Ride continues that tradition as we rally around Tina Lovett and her family.

Together, we ride. Together, we give. Together, we make a difference.

🩷 This Year's Beneficiary

For nearly four decades, Tour De Bar has brought our community together to support individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.

This year, we are honored to rally around a woman who has spent her life caring for others and making a difference in the lives of those around her.

Now, we'd like you to meet Tina.

🩷 Meet Tina

Wife. Mom. Sister. Friend. Neighbor.

Tina (Parnell) Lovett has spent her life supporting family, friends, neighbors, and the White Bear Lake community she loves. Today, our community is rallying around her.

Many know Tina through the well-known Parnell family, whose roots in White Bear Lake span generations. Over the years, Tina has been a familiar face at local schools, sporting events, community activities, and countless moments spent supporting others. She is known for her kindness, strength, resilience, and unwavering willingness to help those around her.

Tina and her husband, Mike, have been married for 19 years and are the proud parents of their daughter, Abby. Family has always been at the center of Tina's life.

For several years, Tina has battled a rare and severe form of Crohn's disease, enduring extensive treatments, surgeries, hospitalizations, and daily health challenges. Then, in May 2026, she received another devastating diagnosis:

Stage 3 Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer

As Tina faces additional testing, treatment, and recovery, the physical, emotional, and financial burdens continue to grow. Unable to work due to her health, Tina and her family are navigating mounting medical expenses while focusing on what matters most—her treatment, healing, and time together as a family.

This journey is especially meaningful to the Tour De Bar community. In 2013, Tina's brother, Nick Parnell, was honored as a Tour De Bar beneficiary during his battle with colon cancer. Since then, Tina, Mike, and their family have faithfully supported Tour De Bar and its mission of helping local families facing difficult circumstances.

Anyone who knows Tina knows she is not someone who asks for help. She has always faced life's challenges quietly while focusing on caring for others.

Today, our community has the opportunity to give back to someone who has spent years giving so much to others.

Now, it's our turn to support her.

💗 Together, We Ride for Tina

Funds raised through the 38th Annual Tour De Bar Bicycle Benefit Ride will help ease the burden of:

Medical expenses
Treatment costs
Daily living expenses
Lost income during treatment and recovery

Your generosity allows Tina, Mike, and Abby to focus on what matters most—health, healing, and family.

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
