Ride Saturday, September 20

in

Saturday’s ride will start from Starbucks at 8:00, and our route will be Rosemount to Northfield counterclockwise. As usual, we’ll stop at Brick Oven Bakery for some food and drinks before returning to Rosemount. The “anything goes” part of the ride will start after we reach CR 46 near Coates.

Expect mostly-cloudy skies during our ride with seasonal temperatures from 60° to 66°F and S winds at 3 to 6 mph.

Did you know that the USA Cycling Gravel National Championships are being held Saturday in La Crescent, MN? There will be routes from 31 to 100 miles and traverse the back roads of the Driftless Area in southeastern Minnesota. Racing will start at 7:00 and the finish line is on the Applefest grounds. You can read about it, including comments from Jenna Rinehart, in the Star Tribune.

Got a Garmin Edge? It's a good idea to check for updates every few months. The best way to update your maps and apps is through the Garmin Express app. It’s much faster than updating directly on the device itself (which you can do in System > Map Manager, but be prepared to wait a while). The most recent North America map update was on June 25, 2025.
