2024 Monday Active Bike Ride Calendar
Please sign up for each week's ride at the Hopkins Activity Center website. If there is a weather delay/cancellation all registered riders for that date will be contacted. Our group size is capped at 18 for safety. If you are unable to make it after signing up, please call the Hopkins Activity Center at 952-939-1333 to take your name off the list, opening the spot up to another biker. If you have difficulty signing up, call the Activity Center for assistance.

Each ride is a loop route with a scenic destination approximately half-way out. Bring something to snack on during our long break there, and of course bring water for the journey. We will bike on roads and trails, hills and flats, with a 12 mph moving average speed. We should be back in Hopkins around noon. After the ride, enjoy lunch with our fellow bikers if you are free!
