This week’s ride will start in Rosemount, at 08:00, and we’ll follow this modified version of our Prior Lake via Black Dog Lake counterclockwise. I’ve added a small change to the route to loop around town from the north before getting to our destination in Prior Lake. This adds a couple of miles and avoids the out-and-back along 160th Street in Prior Lake. We did this extra bit in the other direction on July 24. Let me know how you like it. The weather forecast says it will be partly cloudy with temps from 45 to 60 degrees, and west winds at 6 to 9 mph, so dress appropriately.

As our season winds down, it’s time for you to complete our annual Rider-Satisfaction Survey. Please take two minutes to give us feedback, so we can see how we’re doing and adjust for next year’s season. Your feedback is anonymous and important.
