Join us for a leisurely and scenic bike ride along the Mississippi River, beginning at the charming Aster Café, and ending at Longfellow Grill where we’ll gather for a Dutch-treat lunch on their beautiful patio.
Our main route will take us down East River Road, across the Ford Bridge, with a relaxing stop at Minnehaha Falls, before returning via West River Road, crossing the Stone Arch Bridge to complete a 15-mile loop.
For those looking for a longer ride, an extended 29-mile option continues into St. Paul along Shepard Road, crossing the river at I-35E into Lilydale. From there, we’ll follow the Regional Trail to the Mendota Bridge, pass through historic Fort Snelling Park, and reconnect with the route near Minnehaha Falls for the return ride to Aster Café.
Directions for the longer route will be emailed to all registered riders on August 21, 2025.
Metered parking is available along SE Main Street. Riders of all experience levels are welcome—no one will be left behind!
We look forward to riding with you!
Due to impending inclement weather, this bike ride has been cancelled.
