Minneapolis Drunken Weekend of Riding
OK, so we have saturday and sunday covered...
But what to do about Friday night? I'd probably be down for a Saturday night style ride, hit a few bars, stop under bridges, etc. Anyone else down? I'll be working until probably about 10:30pm, and propose Palmer's as the starting point.
We have less than 48 hours to disorganize this....

I think I'm going to hold out for the brewery tour on Saturday. Friday is my sleeping day. 10:30 is right in the middle of my 15 hour nap.

Damn, no-one. But I found something else to do - https://www.minnbikefestival.com/MinnEvents.html - I'm going to ditch work early to drink beer and laugh at roadies as they spin around in circles for an hour

Wow what a torturous and potentially boring race to ride in!
I wished I lived in Minneapolis I would probably race it

The St. Paul leg of the race went over a section of trail that had been accumulating broken glass for 3 years. Someone finally had to clean it. I remember seeing several recreational riders fixing flats there on the first hot day of the year. Too bad they didn't race the length of the trail all they way to Randolph. Then I could have used it as a commuter route again.

It was pretty sweet - about 36 miles. I did the Saturday night ride too, and ended up with about 65 for the day, which is a lot for me. Sunday night was just NUTS. So many drunk bikes...
I'll get photos up sometime.

i should really pay more attention to this forum. I still don't know anyone yet who rides in the Minneapolis area.
