>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Update for June 9, 2023 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

• Will be offering the 40 miler "traditional" route option for the first time this season! 

• For this week, "follow the leader" (as always) to use a familiar-to-past-riders "traditional" route:
• We’ll cruise the Shingle Creek Trail, Palmer Lake trails, the Rush Creek Regional Trails, and circle Elm Creek Park
  • and — depending on our mileage and mood — return via the 610 bike bridge (to avoid 0.7 miles of very rough tar trail after Coon Rapids Dam),
  • then follow the MRT on the east side of the river.
• Lunch stop possible options suggested on the 40 mile route include Arby's or Jersey Mike's on the east side of Hwy 169 in Champlin.
• Pace of the ride depends on the abilities of our riders and is usually a brisk BC, but we’ll adopt one agreeable to all.

ED'S PARK TO PARK is a MAPLESS scenic social no-drop ride meandering clockwise from Minneapolis through Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Elm Creek and Fridley 

It was created and led for many years previously by long-time ride leader Ed Hassler, and he has given his blessing for other TCBC ride leaders to continue the ride and route in his place for now.

LOCATION: The Carl W Kroening Interpretive Center is just south of the North Mississippi Regional Park, located between I-94 and the Mississippi River at 49th Ave N.

• Please park south of the building leaving the closer-in parking spots for others using the park.  Plus the bonus of less possible door dings!

DRIVING ALERT: Please check with MnDOT for detours.

WEATHER may cancel the ride, so if in doubt please check the RIDE CANCELED, DELAYED OR RESCHEDULED forum or call the ride leader.
