The Windmill - Hwy 36 & 2nd St Gateway trail

2290 2nd St N

Ramsey County, United States 55109

We’ll leave from the wind turbine at 11:30 a.m. on Monday. Not sure if bathrooms will be open at the trailhead, but there’s a Holiday station just east up on Margaret so come early, ride up there if you need to. 
 

This is a no drop ride. I will ask for another leader to bring up the rear.  
 

We’ll travel to downtown Stillwater via gateway bike trail to brown creek state trail. We stop for a lunch  break and you can bring your lunch or stop at the river market co-op (the soup is good).  
 

Route is loaded for you to print, download or pin to your phone. C pace to average somewhere in the 9-11 mph range at the end. Faster riders always welcome to ride off ahead.  
 

Any questions, comments about the ride or if the weather forecast is wrong, check the usual places or don’t hesitate to call or text me at 612 205-0773
