Saint Paul Happy Hour #6

This will be a “B” effort ride that will be mostly on bike trails and low traffic roads. The ride leader will ride at a “B” effort pace and attempt to keep everyone that wants to ride at that pace together, but self-sufficient faster or slower riders are invited to ride at any pace that they prefer.

We will ride the Wheelock Bikeway and Gateway trail east to Demontreville. We then ride on mostly quiet neighborhood roads south and west to battle Creek. We will switch back to trails through Battle Creek Park, Indian Mounds Park and Swede Hollow Park.

The first rest stop will be a quick restroom break at mile 9 at Rotary Park on the Gateway. The second rest stop will be a longer stop at Caribou Coffee, near Battle Creek Lake, at mile 24.

If the Saint Paul Brewing parking lot is full, there is plenty of parking in the 11 Wells Spirits parking lot.

The ride briefing will be at the Saint Paul Brewery entrance. Rest rooms will be available at the ride start, inside Saint Paul Brewing.

I will not have any maps/cue sheets at the ride start, so please download the route to the ‘Ride with GPS’ app on your phone or onto your GPS bike computer. Or to print a map and cue sheet, click the GPS Route Link below, then click on More in the black box above the ride name, then Print Map & Cue PDF then Print Official.

After the ride, socializing, beer, and food will be at Saint Paul Brewing. They have one of the most interesting and beautiful outdoor beer gardens and hopefully the weather will cooperate for us to meet there. And happy hour beer pricing will go until 4 PM.
