Feel free to join us for the whole route or hop on at any stop and you can hop off at any place along the route ... you do you!
The route will start in Hopkins on a couple blocks on the Nine Mile Creek Trail, connecting to The Minnesota River Bluffs Trail to The Depot. Then we will ride the Cedar Lake Trail to a short section of Midtown Greenway connecting us to the Kenliworth Trail up to the North Cedar Trail taking us under Target Field to the West Mississippi River Trail.
After the photo stop, we will backtrack the North Cedar Trail to the Luce Line using the new bridge over the Linden Yard to Utepils. We will ride out on paths along Glenwood Ave and Theodore Wirth Pkwy back to the North Cedar Trail. The North Cedar Trail takes us back to Hopkins and a mile or so on roads to get us to LTD Brewing.
I would love for folks to ride to our event, but understand if folks want to drive to it. If you drive, there is a public lot across from our finish at LTD Brewing (plus lots of street parking and other public lots very close); or you can park at Tonka Cycle & Ski. I will share a post with parking details as we get closer to the ride.
Please plan to bring a lock to secure your bike at stops, every stop should be safe enough, but a lock is the best way to keep your bike there while you're away from it.
