OUR RIDESWe offer a variety of rides on different days of the week which are described below. Northspokes: Monday - EveningThis ride begins at the Cdn Legion parking area on De Vries Ave off Henderson Hwy just south of the Perimeter Hwy.. From here the ride travels through the area of West and East St Paul and up to the Halfmoon Cafe near Lockpfort. This is a very nice scenic ride with lots of interesting sights, smells and sounds with a great group of riders. After snacks and refreshments at the Cafe the ride then returns to the starting point along Henderson Hwy. Sweeps are provided to offer company and assistance to those who fall behind for whatever reason.
Southspokes: Monday - EveningBegins at the Pembina Crossing Mall behind Shapes and crosses the river to River Rd. Once ride meets with St. Mary's Rd it turns south and continues until it reaches the Red River floodway. After crossing the floodway it turns south and travels along Red River Dr. to Hwy 75.. The ride returns from here on the west side of the river, travelling through St Norbert and U of M back to the starting point. This is a very nice country setting ride with light traffic once it passes the Perimiter Hwy. Both, Northspokes and Southspoke start at 6:00 PM in the months of April and September due to shorter daylight hours. Rides begin at 6:30 PM, May through August.
