2012 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) for spring and
late fall rides. 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.
