Ride Saturday, January 3

Saturday, we will meet for a fat-bike ride on the Minnesota River Bottoms Trail, which is an easy, flat trail that anyone can ride. The trail conditions are great west of Nine-Mile Creek and I expect it will be just as nice east of there.

Meet at the parking lot on Lyndale Avenue by I-35W in Bloomington. We will start riding at 9:00 and ride east toward Cedar Avenue and beyond. You may also join us on the north side of the Cedar Avenue bridge around 9:25 to 9:35. If you ride from Eagan make sure you cross the river and then look for us on the trail north of the river where the trails intersect. The group will decide where to ride from there.

During the ride, we'll regroup at regular intervals on the trail, as needed. I think we'll ride about three hours and finish around Noon. It should be cold, but not too cold, with temps from 17° to 20°F, cloudy skies, and light SW winds at 3 mph.
