I'm hoping that by Tuesday we won't have to portage around any snow piles! We'll start from the Big Rivers Trailhead in Mendota Heights, work our way on streets and trails to the River to River Greenway and follow it to Kaposia Landing. Then we'll head back on the Robert Piram, Lilydale and Big Rivers Trails to the finish. Maybe we'll see some eagles along the river. There will be a rest stop at Thompson Park (8.5 miles) and perhaps another one at Harriet Island (15.6 miles). Bring whatever snacks you need to get you through the ride. This is a mapless, stay-together ride and we will average about 11 mph. If you'd like to go a little faster, Carol is planning to post a B/C version. There are some hills on this route, including the long downhill through Simon's Ravine. Whee!

Meet at the Big Rivers Trailhead parking lot. Restrooms and water available at the start. Please check for delays or cancellation before leaving home, and call or text Lyle at 612 516 2053 with any questions.
