i was wondering how many of you all are from the twin cites area. im home for the summer here in red wing. i never rode much when i used to live here with my parents, ive been living in lake tahoe for the past 3 years and was wondering if some of you could guide me in the right direction for some good rides. what are some common routes around here?

Stop in The Route Bike Shop. I believe there are a couple group rides they are aware of. Otherwise cross over the river to WI. We have several here in River Falls. Go to Routeslip.com and search for rides that way also.

Dannwilliams -- I didn't realize you were so close by. You had almost as long a trip to the BFNIC ride as I did.

I grew up down there and was visiting family so I threw in the bike. I remember those hills we did, only a lot easier as a 150# 16 year old.

Come across the bridge and take a right.

Stop into The Route and ask for Eric or Jake. They will take good care of you.
