Ride Saturday, July 24

Saturday’s ride route will be to Prior Lake via Black Dog Lake counterclockwise. The ride will start at 08:00 and it will have a stop at Edelweiss Bakery in Prior Lake. It will be warm and tropical Saturday, so I don’t think you’ll mind a little shorter route. It should be mostly sunny with temps from 75 to 84 degrees, but it will feel like 80 to 90 degrees, and west winds from 4 to 6 mph.

I will be doing a charity ride for MS this weekend, so I won’t be at this week’s ride, but I trust you can find your way and keep everyone together along the way.

Whether you are on the road, a trail, or a walking path, leave room for others to pass you. Don't ride more than two abreast; it's the law in Minnesota and many other places. When riding on the road, ride as far away from traffic as you can, and stay on the other side of the fog line whenever possible. On trails and paths, give others as much room as you can, and whenever you come from behind, let them know that a group is passing. No one wants to be buzzed by a fast cyclist anymore than we want to be buzzed by passing vehicles.
