Saturday Rides Starting from Starbucks in Rosemount, MN
This week, we will be riding the Cannon Falls route clockwise. We will leave Starbucks at 08:00, which will be our normal summertime start time. In Cannon Falls, we'll stop at Hi-Quality Bakery for some pastries and a pit stop. The 56-mile route should take us three hours to complete.
Read MoreIt looks like it will be a great day for a ride again Saturday. This week's ride will leave Starbucks at 09:00 and follow the Northfield route clockwise for 56 miles. We usually stop at Blue Monday, in downtown Northfield, for a pastry and coffee. If you need a shorter route, you can take one of a couple shortcuts, like staying on CR 66 west to Farmington, rather than turning south at CR 79 (Blaine Avenue). Another shortcut would be to turn west at CR 86 (280th St). I'm giving you a couple of options here, because I won't be able to lead the ride. Someone familiar with the route will have to step up an lead the group.
Read MoreIt has been three weeks since our last outdoor ride, and I bet you're as frustrated as I am about this spring weather. To try to make up for lost time, I'm planning to do two rides this weekend. Neither ride will be fast or furious, until the end, because most of us have spring legs and we need to keep everyone together and having fun. There's both a morning and an afternoon ride, so hopefully you can make it to one or both of them.

Saturday looks to be a bit cool and it's supposed to be in the forties Sunday, so let's do an afternoon ride Sunday. That way you can ride indoors Saturday morning and be ready for another ride Sunday.
Read MoreIt looks like Saturday is going to provide us a nice Spring day, so we can do a little riding. We'll meet at Starbucks for the ride at 1:00 PM and follow the Orchard Lake route counter-clockwise for 35 or 45 miles. The wind is predicted to switch during the ride, so we may get a light tail wind for both the beginning and end of the ride.

For those of you who aren't in Palm Desert this week, this may be your first chance to ride outdoors in a few months. Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you, because I'll be ice fishing in Door County this weekend.
Read MoreToday, I received a report of our club's orders from Garneau and I'm happy to report that we exceeded the minimums for all items and everyone has paid for the items they selected during the pre-order period. Thank you for your participation and attentiveness throughout the ordering process. Garneau received orders from 35 people for a total of 98 items. Some of you ordered both men's and women's items and others order multiple items. I think you all appreciated how our sponsor dollars helped cut the prices. In fact, you took full advantage and used all of the available funds and then some.
