Hiawatha Bicycling Club Ride Feedback and Comments

05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop

Nice route, felt I had covered a lot of territory. Ride with GPS could not handle the multiple right angle turns that Smetana makes, so it resulted in longer route. Feature to return to rout3 was very confused too.

05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop

Ended up missing a turn a d wound up back at the start after 5 miles. Backtracked the route and found the error. Able to finish the ride from there.

04-29-2021 - St. Boni Bound

Always a beautiful ride even if busy on a Saturday morning!

04-27-2021 - Scenic Stillwater

Good ride. Love the Stillwater bridges.

04-23-2021 - Around the River 4 2021

Rode to/from start from home

04-20-2021 - Tour Duh Lakes

A Great route, Leon! I look forward to doing it again on a warm and sunny day. Using the cue sheet, we found that there was a cue missing between #10 & #11—to turn R at the Taco Bell. John added a cue. Greg was along and had RWGPS activated, so we didn’t go too far off course. Thanks!

04-06-2021 - Eden Prairie Pedal Pusher

Love this route and lunch at Smith Coffee hit the spot!

04-05-2021 - Ease into Biking in South Saint Paul

Dawn and John,

We LOVED this ride! It took us through some new neighborhoods. I didn't ride the starting loop because I had an appt. that I needed to get back for, but Ron did it at the end and said it was very pretty. I would do this ride again sometime. Thanks for creating the route and posting.

Thanks for the ride, Greg! It would help to put ride start location as cue 0.

03-25-2021 - St. Croix River Crossing

Thanks for doing this ride. much appreciated.

03-25-2021 - St. Croix River Crossing

Perfect day today (Sunday, 4/4/21)

03-25-2021 - Scenes of St Paul I

The wind was a bit daunting but it was an otherwise nice ride.

03-25-2021 - Scenes of St Paul I

Really enjoy this route but wish less wind!

4/4 - Nice route with good mix of trails & quiet streets. Thanks John!

03-09-2021 - St. Boni Bound

A little snow west of St. Boni but nice ride on a beautiful day.

01-09-2021 - SSP Piram Trail

Far and away the majority of the ride was dry trail. The snow and ice sections were either easy to get around or no issue for fat tire (even without studs!)

Super nice day. 5 bald eagles. Only bummer was a long wait for train trying to leave the DNR lot!

This trail is the east side of a ride I do quite often. But this was the first time I have been on the new part of the trail north of the dog park. I can imagine an easy connection from Plato over to Harriet Island and the Lilydale trail.

Thanks for posting the ride!

Left from my house.

Also, accidentally submitted the last week Scene ride posting, as opposed to unregistering.

However it can be done, disregard the 28 miles for last weeks ride

Thanks!

11-02-2020 - Scenes of St Paul III

Really enjoyed the ride and the scenery. It was a beautiful day!

11-01-2020 - St. Boni Bound

There are potential trail closures as you get close to St Boni. Barricades are up but you can get through. We continued through St Boni in order to take photos at Lake Waconia. 32 miles

11-01-2020 - Eden Prairie Pedal Pusher

Wonderfulday for a fun ride!

10-17-2020 - St. Boni Bound

A little cold, a little wet, but still a great ride! We had a delicious lunch at The Bistro in St Boni. (Had the dining room All to ourselves)

10-09-2020 - M & M Ride

Completed on 10/8. Nice mix of trails and streets, hills and flats.

Thank you John & Dawn!

10-09-2020 - M & M Ride

Beautiful ride!

10-02-2020 - St. Boni Bound

Beautiful fall day! Great ride!

09-28-2020 - Medium Monday Morning #4H

Thanks Ron, for the RWGPS version of MMM#4H. It was a beautiful Fall ride.

09-23-2020 - Grey Cloud Island - Short

This was such a fun ride.

It is hard to believe the gorgeous rural scenery is so close to Minneapolis.

The fall colors are at their peak.

Thank you Greg!

09-23-2020 - Grey Cloud Island - Short

Nice ride. Two garmin ssues - a bridge built over US 10 a few years ago reconfigured some roads getting around within the first mile or so. After 20 miles or so,bit kept telling me we were going in the wrong direction on a trail. An upcoming road turn negated that direction.

09-22-2020 - North Around the River on Trails

We loved riding trails new to us on the Northside although we found some of the GPS directions confusing.

09-22-2020 - MCR Eagan Ramble

Hey Marcy: Count my miles twice for this ride please. :)

09-22-2020 - Elm Creek to Coon Rapids Dam

I liked this trail a lot. I hadn't been to Elm Creek in many years (and then just as a runner for the Autumn Woods 10K).

Very fun. Thanks!

09-19-2020 - ALS Bike Ride Long Route

Always enjoy the ALS ride. Especially nice this year to see some 'live' HBC buddies! Thanks Alan and Rita.

09-19-2020 - ALS Bike Ride 2020 Medium Route

A beautiful route, as always. Judy and I rode with John and Dawn and accidentally crossed paths with another group of HBC riders; really nice to see so many HBC friends on this ride. Enjoyed the lunch at Meister's too.

09-19-2020 - ALS Bike Ride 2020 Medium Route

A very beautiful ride! well worth the drive to Scandia to enjoy the beautiful countryside!

09-18-2020 - St. Boni Bound

I went to Mayer this morning

09-17-2020 - Gateway to Stillwater

We did the shorter version of the ride.

09-17-2020 - Gateway to Stillwater

Beautiful smooth trails and roads. The loop around the Stillwater bridges was fantastic! We started at Mahtomedi middle school which shortened the route by a few miles.

09-15-2020 - Scenes of St Paul IV

We shortened the ride and improvised as we got closer to our home near Wheelock Parkway.We loved going through the fairgrounds to the U of M Campus. Thanks

09-14-2020 - Edina to the MSP aircraft viewing area

I never knew this place existed! Very fun! Thank you!

09-14-2020 - Edina to the MSP aircraft viewing area

Another great ride

09-12-2020 - St. Boni Bound

Only went as far as St Boni this morning :)

09-09-2020 - Along the river ride starting at South Saint Paul

A little strenuous going south but easy going back. Thanks

09-09-2020 - Along the river ride starting at South Saint Paul

Another new trail for me! Thanks Haggith!

09-07-2020 - Northwest Loop from Plymouth Station 41 miles

I apologize for cursing the wind.

09-05-2020 - Scenes of St Paul

Such a beautiful ride this was my second time doing it. I Enjoy it every time.

09-04-2020 - North Around the River on Trails

I didn’t get lost this time - yay!!!!!

09-02-2020 - Band Shell to the River Circle

This route is a great companion to the "round the river ride"

08-30-2020 - North Around the River on Trails

Hi Bruce - I could not figure out how to get on the Mississippi Trail. I ended up going to Boom and then back tracking and doing the ride “backwards” for part of it. I can’t even tell you how long I was on the ride. I know the ride ended up being at least 45 miles. I kept trying to figure things out...It doesn’t help I’m directionally challenged! If I do it again, I think I’d get it the second time around. At least it was a nice day! :)

08-29-2020 - Nine-Mile Creek

Grear ride! Only one issue. France Ave closed at 56th due to construction. Abke to walk south on France to 57th left turn. Likely folks would not be allowed through on active work times. There is a detour posted, but we didn't take it, so not sure what the official work around is.

08-29-2020 - Elm Creek to Coon Rapids Dam

GPS was a little glitchy on West River Road prior to heading into the park by the damn.
