Unfortunately I have to cancel this Thursday's ride. Only day a furnace guy can fix a broken A/C.
Feel free to download the ride and do it by yourself or with friends!
Note that the last concert for 2024 is August 22nd.
There are food trucks, Cullen's Ice Cream and a local market that are all open during the concert (located near the bandshell). If you think you might want to stay for the concert, bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. If anyone is interested in just ice cream and would prefer Two Scoops in Anoka, I will lead those interested on the 2 mile round trip to Two Scoops. (Yes, you can do Two Scoops and have time to listen to the music as well!)
This ride will average around 12 MPH. This is a no-drop ride. The only rest stop planned is at the Elm Creek Chalet about 10 miles in, so bring your own snack.
This ride takes place mostly on the nice (and hilly) bike paths inside Elm Creek Park. The start/end venue is close to the park in order to maximize our time inside the park.
Outdoor toilets are available at the start.
This will be a hilly ride inside Elm Creek Park. Expect some very slow climbs and some faster descents. A no drop ride, with average speed adjusted as needed based on the participants.
A slightly shorter variant of this route is possible. Tell the ride leader at the rest stop if interested in cutting out 3 miles. A longer variant is possible if the group wants to tackle more of Elm Creek's hills.
