Riders Stay Active in Adult Bike Club

by Jeanne Lutgen

The Adult Bike Club met on Tuesday at the for its first ride of the season.

Membership is fast approaching 70. Rides are now offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. New members are always welcome, and registration is at the Community Center in Minnetonka, or by calling 952-939-8393. There is a $5 registration fee. 

Once registered, members receive a packet of information with details on over 50 rides. Safety information, as well as rules of the road are also sent out. Helmets are manditory. One ride a week stays in the area and only goes about 8 miles. Two rides a week could be between 14 and 20 miles, and cover the entire Metro Area and some parts of Wisconsin.

Emails are sent out two days before each ride detailing the conditions, the distance, where to meet and how much time the event will take. A member picks and chooses which rides fit their style and schedule. Socialization is a large part of this activity.
