I want to show you a new route that I’ve been noodling and scouting for a while. The route is about 58 miles long and crosses the Minnesota River at two different places, so there’s some climbing but it’s worth it for the scenery as we ride to Prior Lake via Bloomington. I’ve ridden most of this route in various pieces and I think you’ll like it. The stop at Edelweiss in Prior Lake will be about 38 miles into the ride, so a little farther out than usual.

We should have great weather again Saturday with light winds from the north and temps from 59 to 66 degrees. We’ll leave Rosemount at 08:00, as usual.
