Hiawatha Bicycling Club Ride Feedback and Comments

Tour de Hoang and Joyce homes! I was surprised the gps app called out your homes! Route was a construction disaster, I needed my boots. But fun nonetheless. Thx.

On 6/17/22 I rode from Spring Park to New Germany & back for a round trip of 37 miles.

Also, I had trouble today accessing the HBC link to report my finish of this self-paced ride. A screen came up marked DANGEROUS with concerns about phishing with instructions to click on a link for Chrome protection.

Thanks

Great ride today. I started at canon falls, road to Welch, and rode back. Beautiful day.

It was a great ride as I rode with Doug and Nancy; they were great ride leaders!

Good ride to get in shape with! I went on Tuesday May 20

Good surface, nice views of the river and close to home for those of us from Dakota county.

A beautiful day for my first ride of the season! (And flat was good for deconditioned legs)

Gorgeous day for a ride! Saw lots of turtles, birds, a goose family, an eagle up in its nest. We started & ended over on the other side of the river (Old Cedar Bridge parking lot) instead of at the trail head address for this ride.

I was really hoping you'd post this ride! I was going to do it anyway but this was great motivation to do it NOW. I went with Nanette, Kent and Judy and we actually started at the Old Cedar Bridge Trailhead. Thanks! Lisa

Bruce, Thanks for posting! I did 32 Miles.

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.

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!

22 miles . Thanks

Thanks for posting this one. It was just right for today. Jeanne and I chose to start at Dowling School so we could stop at Sea Salt on the way back. 22 miles

Nice leisure ride on Monday. Thanks for posting Haggith!

I found an ice cream place 3 miles from the swing bridge - I added the to and from to my ride.

Thanks for posting-its a nice ride!

We started in Mendota and returned there for lunch so added about 10 miles to the ride.

We went out to Mayer and back to Wayzata. Jeanne Swintosky and I completed 44 miles. I also noticed we didn’t get credit again this year for a 30 mile ride to St Boni on March 13, 2021. Please correct that. Thanks, Rick

Did the full distance

i did the full trail today

I love this ride. Spring Lake Park bike trail is one of the nicest in the Twin Cities.

An easy ride covering a wide variety of neighborhoods in Eagan. We loved your front yard gardens, Haggith!

Bruce thanks so much for posting this ride! It was a great ride this morning. I actually enjoyed riding in the light rain.

Great to see my biker buddies again!

Ron, I really enjoyed this ride! Well done!

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.

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

Good ride. Love the Stillwater bridges.

Rode to/from start from home

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!

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

Very enjoyable ride! Always enjoy riding along the river. Thanks for posting.

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.

Judy

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

Thanks for doing this ride. much appreciated.

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

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

Really enjoy this route but wish less wind!

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

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

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!

Kent

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!

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

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

Wonderfulday for a fun ride!

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)

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

Thank you John & Dawn!

Beautiful ride!

Beautiful fall day! Great ride!

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