On Tuesday, September 20, I will be speaking to the MN Rovers, a group of outdoor enthusiasts who participate in member organized trips and events including hiking, biking, canoeing, climbing, skiing, snowshoeing and camping.

I will give a two part talk. The first half of the talk will be about metro area bike trails, including state and regional corridor (rail) trails, urban trails in Minneapolis and St. Paul and park and rec trails. Then we’ll switch gears and talk about combining bikes and North Star Commuter Rail for some new biking options in the northwest metro area.  The second part of the talk is based on Bikeverywhere’s newest online map brochure North Star, You, Your Bike.

The Rovers meet at 7:30 at Macalester College, in St. Paul, in Olin-Rice Science Center, Room 350.  It is building #13 on this map. The talk will start at 8:00. Join us for an informative talk about bicycling in the metro area and learn more about this group of outdoor enthusiasts who not only enjoy the outdoors, but give back through volunteer service and educational programs.
