Ride Routes
The routes below are our most popular and frequently-ridden, and they are listed alphabetically by destination. We also have a collection of all of our routes on Ride with GPS. Unless noted otherwise, routes start from 14903 South Robert Trail, Rosemount Minnesota, proceed to a destination, and return to the start. At the destination city, we often stop at a pastry shop, gas station, or public park to refuel our bodies and take a nature break. You may download these routes to your navigation device and follow the course during your ride.
