MANKATO â The annual Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride to Mankato will not take place this year due to the pandemic, although at least one small group of riders has been making the trek.
The Native America Calling website and the Dakota 38 Facebook page officially announced the cancellation last week.
But at least one small group of riders has been making their way to Mankato and set up their camp in a park in Lake Crystal on Wednesday night after riding from St. James in the blizzard.
