Saturday Rides Starting from Starbucks in Rosemount, MN
This Saturday’s ride will be after Noon, starting from Starbucks at 1:00, and our route will be a modified loop to Bloomington clockwise. The state trail path that is adjacent to I-494 over the Minnesota River is closed through October, so we won’t be able to go that way all summer. We’ll stop briefly at Hyland Lake Park. The “anything goes” part of the ride will start after we cross McAndrews Road on Diamond Path.

As we transition into spring, it's a great time to reconnect with the open road and enjoy the fresh air. Remember to check your gear, charge your batteries, and enjoy the warmer days on your bike.

Saturday is Global Fat Bike Day, so I thought we should celebrate again this year with a ride on the Minnesota River Bottoms Trail. This is an easy, flat trail that anyone can ride. We won't have snow to ride on this weekend, so you can also use a mountain or cycle-cross bike.

Bring extra food and drink, because there won’t be any available during the ride. The intersection of CR 46 and 85 should have been paved this week, so we should be able to get through there fairly easily.
