Guess what -- another windy day! This week's route will give us a nice tailwind as we go north on Centerville Road and west on County J. The rest of the way we'll just have to tough it out. It will be a mapless, stay-together ride at an average speed of 11 mph unless the group wants to take it easy or go faster. The GPS link is there for those who would like to zoom ahead on their own. We'll stop for donuts or cookies at a Holiday station halfway through the ride and make other brief stops as needed for water breaks or clothing adjustments.

Meet in the upper parking lot for the Shoreview City Hall and Community Center. We usually park at the north end, near the entrance. The huge playground just across the street in Shoreview Commons has become very popular, so we'll probably be several rows into the parking lot. Restrooms and water are available in the Community Center. Before leaving home, please check the TCBC Ride Calendar or Forum for possible rescheduling or cancellation. Call or text Lyle at 612 516 2053 with any questions.
