This is the first Smart Cycling event of 2026. Hosted by Ann Bodensteiner, the speaker will be John Brown of Brown's Cyclery. Topic is e-bikes. Whether you are considering an e-bike or already have one (or even if you don't plan to ride one), this talk will answer your questions about the growing interest in all things e-bike.
Plan to come at 6 pm if you're interested in dinner. Pre-ordering online is encouraged. The talk will begin at 7 pm.
Contact Ann with questions.
This Birthday Bash Walk will wander through the Edina Country Club neighborhood to enjoy the usually outstanding Christmas lights. We will leave from the atrium near Edina D'Amicos at 5:30 and walk between 3 and 4 miles. Ann Bodensteiner will be the walk leader having led similar fabuluous walks over the years.
HBC members are insured. Others are welcome to join but are not insured.
We will primarily walk on sidewalks but they can have icy patches which we will try to avoid. Please be careful and bring any necessary walking aids if desired. Please call out icy spots to others in the group.
Lighting should be adequate with Christmaas decorations but bring lights if you wish.
While not required it would be helpful to sign up.
The temperature will be great for walking around 30F.
We'll bike from the Elm Creek Park Reserve Chalet to the Elm Creek Dam and back again. Let's ride together!
A moderately paced approximately 4 mile walk through Snelling National Cemetery.
