Ride Saturday, March 19

Spring is finally here and we’re going to share our first outdoor group ride of the season Saturday afternoon! We’ll gather at our usual meeting place, Starbucks in Rosemount. The ride will start at 1:00 pm and we’ll follow the 45-mile Castle Rock loop clockwise. The weather during the ride should be about 50 to 55 degrees with SE winds at 5 to 8 mph and partly cloudy skies.

Ride Saturday, March 6

It’s going to be a beautiful Spring day Saturday, so we’re going to return to the road for our first outdoor group ride of 2021. It will be mostly sunny and the 8 mph SSE wind will make it feel like 40, so dress appropriately. We will leave Starbucks in Rosemount at 13:00 (1 PM), so you have the morning to figure out where your kit went since you last rode outside. 😊

We will follow our alternate Castle Rock route, which will avoid traffic and wet streets in the Cobblestone Lake area. This 44-mile route is similar to our Northfield route, with a cutoff via CR 86 through Castle Rock.

Ride Saturday, March 7

Spring has come and that often means windy rides. The forecast for this weekend is for temps in the 50s and 60s with winds of 12 to 20 mph. We can't avoid the wind, but we can still get outside and check our legs.

Saturday's ride will have some cross winds, but mostly head and tail winds. We'll follow the 44-mile alternate Castle Rock route, which is fairly flat and should be a good season opener. We'll meet Saturday afternoon at Starbucks in Rosemount and start riding at 1pm. If you drive to the ride, don't forget important things like your helmet and shoes.

Ride Saturday, April 20

Warm and windy weather is in store for us on Saturday, which is pretty typical for our spring-time rides. We’ll do our first morning ride of the season, so no sleeping in this week. 😊

Plan to leave Rosemount at 08:00 and ride south to Northfield (55 miles), Castle Rock (44 miles), or Farmington (25 miles), depending on your time and fitness constraints. We’ll go counterclockwise and south on Hwy 3 to the roundabout at 195th St, rather than taking Pilot Knob Rd. In Northfield, we’ll stop at Brick Oven Bakery for some goodies.
