Club Rides

2010 Ride Schedule
(This schedule is subject to change - check for updates before going to the start location.)

Guests are always welcome on club rides. Riders break into groups by ability and ALL levels are represented.

Club rides are scheduled for Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm during the months of daylight savings time. Riders typically meet at the parking lot for the Paul Bunyan Trail in Baxter (just behind the movie theater). During the summer months, several rides will start at other locations as listed in the table below. However, some riders who prefer not to go out-of-town will still meet at the Paul Bunyan trailhead for a local ride.

Mountain bikers: If interested in a ride at Pat Lanin's trails about 25 miles SE of Brainerd, please call 218-764-3315.
