This route is on a mixture of roads and trails and is fairly flat, and we will probably average around 11 mph. Maybe faster or slower depending on how everybody feels. It's going to be a mapless, stay-together route with a breakfast stop at McDonald's in Circle Pines at 8 miles, and a rest stop at Centerville Lake Beach at 15 miles. If you want, you can download the Ride with GPS route and/or print your own cue sheet so that you can keep track of how many wrong turns the ride leader makes.
Meet in the upper parking lot for the Shoreview City Hall and Community Center. We usually park at the north end, near the entrance. However the huge playground just across the street in Shoreview Commons has become very popular, so look for a grey SUV with the tailgate open two or three rows into the parking lot. Restrooms and water available in the Community Center.
