Check out this new club! If you like to bicycle and want to ride with others and form new friendships while enjoying trails you may not have ridden, then this is the group for you. The BBC plans to schedule rides on Wednesdays from April 13 to October 21 at 10AM . Ride each week or choose the dates that work for you. Community rides vary from 10-16 miles round trip at a leisurely pace of 8-10 mph and will take place around Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Ham Lake, and Andover, to begin with. If you are also looking to ride in other locations, visit the MN Spokes-N-Folks website at, MNSpokesNFolks.com for their evening extended ride schedule. Possible extended/overnight trips may be an additional opportunity for the BBC.
