Ride Saturday, October 22

A bit of a warm-up is in store for this weekend, so the ride will start at 08:00 and the route will be to Cannon Falls clockwise. The “early” start time means less head wind on the way out and more time for you to relax (or do yard work) and enjoy the warm afternoon. Expect cool temps at the start — 43 degrees — and 58 degrees by the end of the ride, so layers will be key. It will be partly cloudy with ESE/SE winds from 6 to 10 mph, so not as chilly or windy as last weekend.

If you can make some free time to help out a great organization that provides used bikes to kids around the state, our friends at Free Bikes 4 Kidz have collected 5,600 bikes and they need your help to clean and fix them up. You can sign up now for shifts now through early December. Can you spare a couple of hours, maybe next week while it’s rainy outside, to give them a hand at making a kid's day?
