Ride Saturday, June 17

in

This weekend, we finally have a Saturday without a threat of rain (that never arrives). The route will be Cannon Falls clockwise. Hopefully, Hi-Quality has a better selection for us than our last trip there. The weather should be good with mostly sunny skies, temps from 65 to 75 degrees, and SE winds from 9 to 11 mph.

If construction on CR 88 has started and the road is impassable (the County’s project page isn’t clear), you can backtrack about a mile on Gerlach Way to the east end of the park when the road turns north to Harry Ave. You can follow Harry north to 280th street (CR 86), from there, head west until you get back on course at CR 47.

The purple line shows an alternate route when CR 88 is closed for construction over the next two years.

I will not be able to lead the ride, but I know you can keep everyone together until you get to the roundabout and hills on Hwy 3. Also, for your own safety keep right of the fog line whenever possible.
