Monday Morning Active Rides
These bike rides are targeted for active seniors, typically 25-35 mile loop rides at 12 mph moving average speed. Bring a snack to eat at scenic half-way break point. There will also be a few brief breaks along the routes. Our routes take us along paved and limestone bike trails and safe paved roads. All Monday morning rides are scheduled to depart from the Maetzold Field parking lot at 9am. Starting times may be changed due to inclement weather.
Wednesday Evening Recreation Rides (Not led by Peggy)
Join us for a weekly bike ride on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer. Rides are usually 15-20 miles at bike speeds of 10 to 12 mph with water stops. We try to avoid steep hills and bike on dedicated trails wherever possible. Rides will include a social experience (biking to get ice cream, eating dinner together after the ride, picking apples, etc.) All Wednesday evening rides will begin at 5:30pm and will have different start location. Please see each week's activity listing for details.
Participants for each group should wear a helmet and bring a water bottle or two, an energy bar or other small snack. Wednesday evening riders will be required to bring a headlight and taillight in September.
Season begins on Wednesday, May 1st with a Kick off Party at 5:30pm, followed by a bike ride starting and ending at Maetzold Field. There will be a brief bike safety presentation by the Hopkins Police and a bike maintenance demo by Tonka Cycle with some door prizes for those in attendance. Bring your appetite as our evening bike ride around the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes includes a stop at the Pimento Jamaican Kitchen at the new Bde Maka Ska Pavilion.
The season will end at the end of August. There are no rides scheduled the week of Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Please sign up for each ride you plan to attend so we know how many to expect, have emergency contact information, and can contact you in case of a schedule change.
