Ride Saturday, September 10

Saturday, we will ride from Rosemount to Edina via the Minnesota Valley State Trail clockwise, with a stop at Hyland Lake Park Reserve at the half-way point, before we get to Edina. The weather for our ride should be cool, with temps from 57 to 63 degrees, with mostly cloudy skies and light NNW winds from 3 to 6 mph.

Our friends at Free Bikes 4 Kidz will be collecting bikes next month. If you know someone with a gently-used, rider-ready bike to donate, you can direct them to Allina’s website to see a list of locations that will be accepting bikes on October 8. They will need volunteers to help unload and sort all those bikes as they come in, and you can sign up to help.

It costs Free Bikes 4 Kidz Minnesota about $35 to collect, clean, refurbish, and distribute a bike. When you donate, you make it possible for more children to receive bikes and access the health benefits, freedom, and FUN that a bike allows.
