We start at Autumn Grove Park at 365 Lydia Avenue West, Roseville MN 55113 - (Note: the park building may not be open for restroom use this early in the season) - we will ride at a C pace (between 9-11 miles per hour).
We ride Hamline Ave to Roselawn and go through the Reservoir Park to the south side of McCarrons Lake, then on to the Gateway Trail then to Lake Phalen for a rest stop at the south-east side of the lake (around 10.3 miles, there may be a working porta potty at that location).
Then on to Bruce Vento trail to Little Canada and on to Taste of Scandinavia Bakery and Café on Rice Street in Roseville (at about 17.5 mile mark) - where we will stop for a short lunch (30 minutes or so) and then on to Acorn Park and County Rd C through Central Park and back to Autumn Grove Park.
Total 22.5 miles or so, so I have recorded 23 but it will likely be just a bit shy of 23.
Route terrain: Mixed - some up, some down and mostly flat.
Bring water as there will not be a water stop until the bakery & café stop.
I will lead from the front and I will ask someone to be a sweep leader.
It is a no drop ride and there is a GPS route and it is otherwise a mapless ride.
