Renae On Fri, 8/26/2022, I rode 45 miles roundtrip from my home in Spring Park to Lester Prairie. FYI: I detoured around the TRAIL CLOSURE at Hwy 155 via North Shore Road even though other bikers were ignoring the sign and riding on the trail. The work crew have installed a culvert under the bike trail along North Shore Road. |

All of the bikers on the trail are using North Shore Road to bypass this trail closure. Beautiful day to be out for a bike ride! |

08-04-2022 - Self-Paced St Boni Bound |
Renae On Tues, 8/9/222, I rode from my apt bldg in Spring Park to Lester Prairie and back on the Dakota Rail Regional Trail. A glorious day for a bike ride! The "Trail Closure Soon" signs are still posted on the trail along the north shore of Lake Waconia - from Hwy 155 to N. Shore Rd. (There are piles of cut tree limbs along the trail that I assume the crews want to remove. Perhaps the recent wind and rain storms have delayed this project.) |
08-04-2022 - Self-Paced St Boni Bound |
Patty Beautiful ride, nice weather. I did see the sign on the trail in Carver County saying trail will be closing but gave no date. |
07-28-2022 - Self-Paced St Boni Bound |

07-21-2022 - Self-Paced St Boni Bound |
Patty Nice ride, saw New Germany for the first time. |
07-15-2022 - Self-Paced St Boni Bound |
Patty On coming back, somewhere toward Wayzata a huge tree fell and was completely covering the bike path (a huge area & could not go around it). Luckily, a couple gentlemen were out there trying to tell me not to go thru it because there were live power lines underneath the tree! They told me to go back around and then haul my bike down some stairs so as to get back on the path, which I did. When I got back to Wayzata I turned around and went back on path in order to get a few more miles in. I felt really good on the ride and felt I was cruising, which probably was because it was pretty much all flat trail. |

Renae I started this ride on Tues 11/9 at 1:45pm at the Dakota Rail Trailhead in Wayzata and rode to the St Boni City office and back. Unfortunately, due to my early afternoon start time and the clear sky, the sun was strobing me through the trees that line the trail when I was riding to St Boni. Otherwise, it was a nice crisp fall day for a ride. |

Patty I started this ride in Wayzata and went to St. Boni. This ride and trail were BEAUTIFUL! I did it on Sunday, Sept 19 and although it was quite windy and 90 degrees out, I loved every minute of it. The trail was great, it was all level with no hills (which was good because I'm riding with a strained, sore knee). I will definitely be doing that ride again, especially when I need to ride alone. Thanks for the maps and everything provided for that ride! |

Hans Great to see my biker buddies again! |
05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop |
Cathleen 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 |
Lisa Ron, I really enjoyed this ride! Well done! |
05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop |
Kent 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. |
05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop |
Nanette GPS directions don't work well every time the path crosses itself. We went the wrong direction several times. One we went the correct way, we enjoyed the route. Hope to do it again. |

Dawn 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! |
