Due to difficulty navigating this route with the many unmarked trails I will consider this a mapless/no drop ride and I am limiting the ride to 12 riders, including the ride leader. Due to the history of 2-3 riders canceling or not showing up, I will allow 15 riders to register. When or if I get 15 registered riders, I will close registration and label the ride as full. So, if you really want to do this ride, register early before it closes! If the ride is full and you still want to ride, please send me a text or email and I will add you to the list if openings become available.
This route will use the Mississippi River Trail system on both sides of the river, and we will also ride the Fort Snelling State Park trails. Some of these trails are rough, some unpaved and some are paved but covered with a layer of river sand and some are brand new and very smooth. With this in mind, please bring a bike that you are comfortable riding on rough and/or unpaved trails. A Gravel bike or Mountain bike would be a good choice. I don’t recommend riding a standard Road bike on this route, unless it has at least 30mm tires.
The rest stop will be at the Fort Snelling Visitors Center at mile 15.
Please use on street parking near the Urban Growler Brewing Company and leave the parking lot open for other customers. The ride briefing will be in the parking lot.
After the ride plan on joining us for food and refreshments at the Urban Growler. The Food and Beer menu can be viewed on their web site. http://urbangrowlerbrewing.com/
