We’ll ride west on the Midtown Greenway and connect to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail, one of Minneapolis’s premier bike trails. From there, we’ll continue through the Theodore Wirth area to meet up at Utepils Brewing.
We’re planning to make this a recurring community event, meeting approximately every three weeks throughout the summer. We hope to fit in 4–5 rides between late June and mid-September, giving neighbors multiple opportunities to enjoy a summer evening of cycling, conversation, and community.
