Saint Paul Happy Hour #6 Short

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 Bruce Vento trail, Lake Phalen trail, Gateway trail, then 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 rest stop will be at mile 11 for a quick restroom and snack break at Holiday. Other Porta Potty stops will be added as needed.

With the increased popularity of this ride, I would like to ask everyone to park in the large 11 Wells Spirits parking lot and ride your bike the short distance to the Saint Paul Brewing entrance. This will allow brewery customers to park closer to the brewery.

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.
