We may get lucky and have a break in the weather for an evening ride on Saturday. The ride starts from Long Lake Boat Launch in New Brighton and heads up to Circle Pines for a brief rest stop at Golden Lake Park. This will be a mapless, stay-together ride averaging about 11 mph. Check the GPS link for a preview of the route.

Google Maps should recognize Long Lake Boat Launch as a destination -- the address is simply Beach Road, New Brighton. Don't ask your GPS to take you to Long Lake Park because you'll wind up in the wrong place! Directions from I-694: Take the Long Lake Road exit, head north on Long Lake Road and then take the first available right onto Beach Road. Before leaving home, please check the ride calendar or the TCBC Forum to make sure the ride has not been canceled. Call or text Lyle at 612 516 2053 if you have any questions.
