Join Reconnect Rochester & EE Pathways tonight in Maplewood for our 4th of 20 Wednesday rides! Gather at 107 Bridge View Drive beginning at 6:30pm for a prompt 7pm departure.

Chip sealing is a low-cost way municipalities extend pavement life. Here is our annual reminder to take care when riding on streets that are being chip sealed. The slick emulsion underneath the gravel can make bikes slide around a bit. Being in a low gear that allows you to spin your legs faster gives you more stability. Squeezing the brakes gently also helps.
