Group Rides

Our Ride Point is the Park & Ride at Foley & Coon Rapids Blvd.

We ride twice a week during riding season. Thursdays are our Dinner Rides. We leave the Ride Point at 6:30 PM sharp. Please be gassed up and ready to go. It is suggested that you arrive about 6:15 PM so that a Riders Meeting can be conducted. If you should miss departure time, we communicate on CB channel 1. Give a call, and we will slow down for you.

Apprehensive about group riding? Click Here for a discussion on what to do and expect.

The Saturday rides are after breakfast. We meet at Old Country Buffet, located right in front of Home Depot on the SE corner of Main Street & Round Lake Blvd in Coon Rapids. The phone number is 763-421-2126. Seating is at 8:30 AM.

An impromptu ride follows, weather permitting. Saturdays are very popular for the Minnows, during riding season and during the off-season.
