Saturday Rides Starting from Starbucks in Rosemount, MN
Saturday’s ride route will be to Prior Lake via Black Dog Lake counterclockwise. The ride will start at 08:00 and it will have a stop at Edelweiss Bakery in Prior Lake. It will be warm and tropical Saturday, so a I don’t think you’ll mind a little shorter route. It should be mostly sunny with temps from 75 to 84 degrees, but it will feel like 80 to 90 degrees, and west winds from 4 to 6 mph.

Hopefully, you and your family have been healthy and the pandemic hasn’t stopped you from getting on a bike to exercise. As things start to open up again, our risk of infecting COVID-19 may also be declining, as new cases in Minnesota very recently have been lower than they have been since April 22. Hopefully the downward trend continues and the recent George Floyd / BLM protests do not cause a new spike in infections. We won’t be able to return to the old “normal,” but we can manage our risk and do what we feel comfortable doing.

The only time we've ridden most of this route was last October, so I hope you enjoy some new roads.
