Ambassador rides sponsored by either a charitable organization or a special event ride. The ride leader’s duties are limited to handling the sign up sheet for mileage credit. All riders must sign in at the time of the event to receive credit.

    Dred Scott Playfield - southeast corner
    Bloomington Ferry Rd & W 110th St.
    Bloomington, MN

    Meet in parking lot at southeast corner of Dred Scott Playfields

    Join me on a developmental ride that will take us to places many of you have not been.  We will take trails through Wilkie Unit National Wildlife Refuge, Deans Lake Nature Preserve and a quick spin through The Landing-Minnesota River Heritage Park. In between, I will be testing roads and trails to make a complete route for future use.  I have not ridden these trails this year, so no guarantee as to their condition/thus developmental. It's always fun to ride something new, right?

    Most of the ride will be pretty flat, with one notable incline at the end of the ride back to our cars.

    Note:  Dred Scott Playing Fields is large.  We will meet on the SE corner, by the tennis and volley ball courts.  Corner of 110th and Bloomington Ferry Road.
