Thank you Lyle for sharing this route! We'll start from Lakewood Hills Park and do a 16-mile loop. This will be a mapless, stay-together ride averaging about 11 mph. The route link is posted for anyone who would like to ride on ahead.
Directions: From I-694, go north on White Bear Ave and turn right at Orchard Lane. Continue for 0.3 miles (past the YMCA building) and watch for the White Bear Arena and Lakewood Park signs on the right. There are no restrooms at the start so be prepared. The nearest gas station is at Buerkle Road and White Bear Avenue, just north of I-694.
We'll also have an opportunity for a pit stop at a portable toilet about 6 miles into the ride. The ride may be delayed or canceled because of weather or road conditions so be sure to check the TCBC Forum or ride calendar before leaving home. Call or text Debra with any questions: 651-398-9730.
