This is a day ride on some nice back roads in southeast Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin with a stop for lunch at Whiskey ****s in Millville, MN.

We will meet at 8:30 at the Holiday Station Store located at the northwest corner of Manning Avenue and Interstate 94 in Lake Elmo MN.

For those coming from the south, we will make a brief stop at Point Douglas Park on the Minnesota side just before the Prescot bridge on Hwy 10. Arrival time will be approximately 9:15 or from the east, our next stop will be the McDonald's/Durand Travel Stop in Durand WI. Arrival time will be approximately 10:45.

If you are planning on meeting the group at Point Douglas Park or in Durand, please let me know at beheiple@gmail.com so that we know to watch for you.
 
Let's give this another bump to the top......

If your coming, let's know by signing up here.

In addtion to the meet points listed in my previous post we will also stop at the 35 Express Station at the intersection of WI 35 / County S / Oak Street in Maiden Rock WI. A rider from the Lacross area will be joining us there. ETA at this stop will be between 9:45 and 10:00.
 
Just a quick update - I have been informed by a knowledable source that the Shell Station in Durand has closed. We will be stopping at the Kwik Trip instead. The address is 1101 Hardy St, Durand, WI 54736
 
Just a thought - but every year the weather is questionable for this ride. Scheduling it one day later (today is going to be beautiful) or better yet, one week later might be an incentive for more people to join this Spring Ride.

I am not opposed to other dates and I'd like to hear from others on this subject

The Bold North Spring Ride has traditionaly been held on the first Saturday of May since before I have been a COG member and the weather is always a crap shoot. Last year we had some rain, but 2021 was dry and sunny. I missed the Ride in 2022, so I don't know about that one.

A last minute reschedule to today or next Saturday, would have been possible, but someone else would have needed to run point as I have other things going on.
