June 19th ride - There were 14 riders today for a 17-mile ride out to Lake Minnetonka and back.
Lots of traffic on the trails today, probably making up for lost exercise time in
the last few days. Great weather and an easy ride with good conversations going on.
Next week we will be leaving from Shepard Road and 35E parking lot for a ride to
downtown St Paul and back. A fun ride for all.
June 5th ride
The BAJ bike club did their weekly ride and had 19 riders. Our ride started at Minnehaha Falls and went north on the West River Road bike path to the Greenway and headed north at the Sabo bridge with a stop at the US Bank stadium and another stop near the Bridge memorial and then a leisurely ride back to the Falls. Travel time was 1 hour 45 minutes. We ride every Wednesday morning starting at 9. We ride a different route each week. Join us!
