2024 MONDAY BIKE RIDES
Led by Peggy Kvam for the Hopkins Activity Center
The theme for today's bike ride was the LRT Train, particularly the Green Line Extension Project which is bringing stations to Hopkins. We followed the new route pretty closely, biking along every newly paved section of the South Cedar Trail that we could. Then we diverged from the project with a beeline along the Midtown Greenway to the Mississipppi River. The river trail was really nice! We made it to Union Depot Station at the appointed time, meeting our two transit escorts to learn about the project and using the LRT system. We boarded onto all three train cars because each car only has two bike racks. Ask our bikers for their stories on board. Every car had a different experience. The safety committee has much work to do yet, unfortunately. Anyway, we all safely arrived at Target Field Station and had an uneventful bike ride back along the North Cedar Trail, seeing a bit more of the LRT construction along the way. It will sure be nice when our trails are reopened!
