The river has receded, so this week we will ride the 48-mile route to Prior Lake, which follows the Minnesota River for a few miles. We'll leave Rosemount at 8:00, stop at Edelwiess Bakery in Prior Lake, and return to Rosemount around 11:00.

Here's an update a reminder from Fred about the SPBRC Labor Day Ride.

Greetings SPBRC Members and Cycling Friends, I hope you will be able to join us for the the Sept. 3, Labor Day Ride, staging at Marine On St. Croix. There will be two rides:

• The A ride will be about 61 miles departing “Marine” at 8:00am.  This will be an 18+mph ride that is not supported, meaning you need to bring your own food and tools. We will regroup on hills, but the ride will roll at a 18+.  Departs Marine, to Stillwater, across the new bridge, then north to Osceola for a quick stop before heading west to Olinda Trail to Marine.
• The B ride is yet to be determined, but will probably be about 45-50 miles at a 15-18mph pace.  It will depart Marine about 8:00am.  Brit will lead this ride.

Please join us afterwards at the Marine Gazebo for a box lunch, FREE to all SPBRC members and Summit Beer! Non SPBRC members will be invited and will have an opportunity to purchase a PREORDERED box lunch for $10.

In order to get the box lunch you will need to RESPOND no later than August 28 at NOON on the attached link. All riders are requested to complete the form so we know who is planning to ride which route by August 28.
