A rainy morning turned into a mostly sunny and comfortable day for the
1st Annual Birchleggings Club Dakota Trail Bicycle Ride on August 15,
2024. We had seven riders, with six doing the 57-Mile Wayzata to Lester
Prairie Route and back and one rider that did the 38-Mile option from
Mound and back. Two riders turned it into a 100-Mile Century ride, by
riding to and from Wayzata and Minneapolis. Things were iffy since there
was lots of rain the night before the ride, but the clouds opened up,
and we had mostly sunshine for the ride.
All riders are
now Founders of the Birchleggings Club Dakota Trail Bicycle Ride in the
tradition of Tony Wise and the American Birkebeiner Ski Race!
The
riders had lunch at the famous Central Cafe at the end of the Dakota
Trail in Lester Prairie. "Mary Kate's Bitchin' Kitchen" did not
disappoint the riders with her delicious sandwiches on homemade bread!
The
photographs are all from the Central Cafe. The owner Mary Kate took the
photographs. The one outside, from R to L, include Edward Eroe, Greg
Fields, Ed Hasselman, Adam Smith, Julia Virkus, Gus Virkus, and Sophia
Beal.
A big thanks to all the riders that have completed
several Birkie and / or Korte races and one, Sophia, who now wants to do
one of the races in the future, after listening to all of our stories!
