TRIP REPORT - The Root River
The Root River Trip in Lanesboro was a great success. The weather was good. The hotel was great, with friendly staff. The food at the different restaurants was very good. This is amazing little town with lots of activities going on all summer. The trail was paved and mostly flat. Ages in the group were from 61 to 94. We had 12 SAS riders plus one guest ,Joanne, who did not participate in the rides. From Lanesboro we rode to Preston, Rushford and Walen (famous for its’ pies).
I would like to see more bikers to take an interest in leading some rides. If any riders have a ride that SAS has not done, please feel free to organize the ride and use the newsletter and E-mail list as a source. The SAS bike rides are generally on Wed. or Sat. Other days of the week may be used. I have an e-mail list of bikers that is used for impromptu rides and a reminder of the upcoming rides. There will be rides as soon as the weather permits. Watch your emails for them soon.
The following is some of the criteria for bike rides:
The approx. distance of the ride and the type of terrain or surface, where the ride will depart from and the time the ride will start, if the ride is going to stop to eat or if the riders should bring a snack. Remind riders to bring water.

The SAS Bikers have two or more rides per week from April thru October, for a total of 60+ rides per year. We publish our biking schedule in the SAS monthly newsletter.We often add rides during the month by use of our bikers e-mail list.
The bike leaders lead many of the rides, but they get help from other bikers. We usually have about 60 people that participate in SAS biking events during the course of the year. 20 or 25 of them will lead rides.
On SAS rides we stay together and bike as a group.
See our Bike Schedule for current rides
There will also be rides scheduled on short notice. Notification will be by e-mail. To get on the e-mail list contact Bob Brooks at bandalaro@chartermi.net
See you on the trail!
