This is a copycat version of TGIF "but on Sunday". Thanks Bob Fix for sharing this route with us.
The weather is predicted to be beautiful on Sunday so lets take advantage of it! There is an optional socializing afterwards at Taste of Scandinavia or Caribou Coffee.
Sometimes our knees just need a break from cycling on rolling hills! So...this route is "mostly flat" (there are 1-2 manageable hills), on quiet roads with fewer traffic lights in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, starting in Shoreview then through Centerville, Lino Lakes, Hugo and White Bear Lake. The ride leader will be setting the overall average pace of 12-13 MPH.
Updated Ride with GPS route to account for construction around the North Campus of White Bear Lake High School - but is relatively minor. That construction is completed, but after scouting out the route today, there's a short stretch on Buffalo Street where safety cones/signs are off the road on the right side (north), as if construction is to begin soon, but not tomorrow.
Bathrooms are available at the start in the building. We will break at mile 15, the Holiday gas station on Highway 61.
Please register prior to the ride if possible.
