We'll start from the Shoreview Community Center each Monday and head out in various directions depending on the wind and the whims of the ride leader. Ride distances will average about 25 miles -- sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. These will be mapless, stay-together rides at an average speed of around 11 mph. A Ride with GPS link for the specific route that week will be available by the evening before the ride, and faster self-sufficient riders are welcome to go ahead at their own pace. Rest stops may be at public parks, gas stations or restaurants. Check the ride description each week to see if you need to bring your own snacks, and also to make sure the start time hasn't been changed because of heat, rain, wind, air quality or unknown forces.

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 delay or cancellation. Call or text Lyle at 612 516 2053 with any questions.
