HansGxxxxxxxxx Great to see my biker buddies again! |
05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop |
CathleenMxxxxxxxx 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 |
LisaSxxxxx Ron, I really enjoyed this ride! Well done! |
05-03-2021 - Blooming Hop |
KentMxxxxxxxx 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 |
NanetteMxxxxxxxx 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. |

04-20-2021 - Tour Duh Lakes |
DawnWxxxxx 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! |

JudyOxxxxxxxxx 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 |
04-04-2021 - Scenes of St Paul V Neighborhoods |
RonaldJxxxxx Significantly different than the other Scenes of St. Paul rides. Lots of new neighborhoods and trails that really show the diversity of St. Paul. This is a good self-paced ride because you can stop at the many interesting sights that are pointed out in the cues. We loved it! |
03-25-2021 - St. Croix River Crossing |

03-09-2021 - St. Boni Bound |
ArtBxxxx A great and a great trail |
01-09-2021 - SSP Piram Trail |
KentMxxxxxxxx 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 |

11-01-2020 - St. Boni Bound |

EdNxxxxx 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. |
