We rarely ride the same route two weeks in a row, but this week we are going to ride to Cannon Falls in a counterclockwise direction again. This Saturday, it will be warmer and less windy than last Saturday, so we’ll be leaving Starbucks at 08:00. During the ride, it should be sunny, with temps from 43F to 60F, and winds SE at 6 to 13 mph.

We’re going to return to the road Saturday. We’ll leave Starbucks at 1PM and head south toward Cannon Falls in a counterclockwise direction. This 55-mile route, which has about 1000 feet of elevation, is one of our favorites. During the ride, it should be sunny, with temps from 51F to 55F, and winds SE at 17 mph.

It looks like the rain may not arrive until Sunday, so today’s ride will start at 8:00. It will be mainly cloudy with a small chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm, temps from 72 to 80 degrees, and SE winds at 7 to 9 mph.

Saturday’s ride will be from Rosemount to Cannon Falls counterclockwise. This 55-mile loop is quite flat with just 1000 feet of climbing. We’ll stop in Cannon Falls for food and drinks before returning to the start.

This week's ride is going to be a good one. We will be cycling along the Cannon River, Lake Byllesby, and through the beautiful farm fields of Dakota County. We are going to follow our usual 57-mile loop from Rosemount to Cannon Falls, going clockwise. The ride will start at 08:00, so don't forget to set your alarms and be on time. Once we reach Cannon Falls, we'll take a break to refuel and rest before heading back home.

Saturday’s ride will be via our Cannon Falls route counterclockwise. We will leave Starbucks in Rosemount at 8:00, as usual for this time of year. This 55-mile route has about 1,000 feet of climbing and a stop at Sweet Kneads Cannon Falls Bakery, which was formerly known as Hi-Quality Bakery.

It’s time for a donut run to Cannon Falls this week. There will be a little more wind than we have had for a while, so you’ll need to work together on the way there, and on the way back. Keep the group together until you get back to Coates. Remember to keep right of the fog line on the county roads, especially on CR 46, where the traffic is fast and furious.

It looks like we’ll have another perfect summer day for our group ride Saturday, and we’re going to head to Cannon Falls following our counterclockwise route. If you have the time and energy to ride longer, you may want to add 25 miles and another 1000 feet of elevation by going to Welch before returning to Rosemount. We’ll all stop for a break at Hi-Quality Bakery in Cannon Falls. As usual, the ride starts from Starbucks at 08:00.

This weekend, we finally have a Saturday without a threat of rain (that never arrives). The route will be Cannon Falls clockwise. Hopefully, Hi-Quality has a better selection for us than our last trip there. The weather should be good with mostly sunny skies, temps from 65 to 75 degrees, and SE winds from 9 to 11 mph.
