Hugh will be leading this little jaunt, but I am posting the map and queue for people’s delight. The ride visits Aamodt’s Apple Orchard, known for their apple pie and apple cider brats.

Ride is about 35 miles, and has some lovely rolling hills. The rest stop is late in the ride, but there are some chances at biffies and water prior to the orchard as needed. Several of the country roads do not have much shoulder, but are not especially busy. Riding single-file is suggested on such roads.

7 SUN 1:30 PM B 32-38 mi. CANDY APPLE GRAY. Depart from Ramsey Beach, on Hwy 96 just east of Highway 61, White Bear Lake. Same start location, different route, different orchard. Explore some rolling hills on route to an apple bakery for apple pie, cookies, and turnovers. Faster riders welcomed so long as they leave some apple treats for the leader.
