Contact Shane via the Google Group and I’ll fill you in.

The Stone Arch hill climb will officially kick off tomorrow April 22. The route leaves from the down town Minneapolis side of the Stone Arch. The group usually congregates below in the car parking lot. We ride through St Paul doing many of the hills available.

In the past the ride has started at 5:30. How much of a hardship would it cause if the ride started at 5PM? By starting earlier we should be able to get in a few extra miles/climbs.

I would like to start tomorrows ride at 5PM. (Unless I hear this is not going to work for the majority of guys then we’ll start at 5:30PM.)
