Hey all, thought I would start a new thread on planning some Wed night rides, please post some ideas, ride spots, wants, gripes, etc....
I will get this ball rolling with two proposed rides, the first ride will be May 27th, tomorrow, at the dirt jumps at the Lexington - Diffely athletic complex, fellow factionite Tim and I are gonna go out there for awhile, probably about 7:00 p.m., this would be on Diffley road in Eagan, east of 35E and Cedar-77, at Lexington. I have never been there myself, not sure what to expect, but if anyone wants to show up and give it ago, please feel free to join us....

The second ride I am proposing would be, next Wed., the 3rd of June, meet at the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot in Champlin, 11580 theater drive 55316 is the address, this is just west of 169, north of 81 and 610, in between 114th and 117th, have to take one of those two roads to get there, it's by Moonrocks, the Champlin theater, Culver's, etc... just off the highway.
Meeting here we could go thru some of Elm Creek park reserve, or ride around city streets, there is a small tier1 type skatepark about 1/2 mile away, I will scope out the area some more and see if I can find some banks or something else to ride between now and then.
Please give someinput on these rides, or some ideas for some other ones, I myself love the St. Paul area, maybe some rides in Bill's or Rod's area, post up some ideas!!!

I'll be there tonight. Hope i can find it. I've missed the last couple and the BBQ.

There's a small ditch at University & Hampden in St paul that's fun.
It can be seen in this Eastern Bikes vid:

Cool vid Bill, I recognize a lot of those spots, Robert st DT bricks, the Bridge, Snelling banks, too cool! I think I used to ride every one of those places back in the day, I am a St. Paul boy at heart! Definitely gotta plan some rides over there....

I won't make tonight or next Wed, but I'll host June 10th at my local nibbler park. Amatage park in sw Minneapolis. 6 pm we can meet at my house or the park there's some street stuff to found around there as well. I'll post again next wed with more info.

Can't today but I'll do my best to get out next Wednesday.

Hey all, went out to the Lex-Diffley jumps tonight, 7:15 till dark, they are pretty fun to ride, everything is rollable, small medium and big sets, plus a litlle pump loop. Wore myself out, but the bike and I are in one piece, I rode my OM Flyer, jumps pretty good!
I urge anyone interested in hitting some dirt to give it a try, kind cool it is in a park and and has bathrooms, running water, parking lot, etc.. right there close, plus a little skate park right next to it!

Whoops, double post...

Hey I j ust noticed your in SLP, you ever go to the little park by the aqutic center?

Hey Bill, actually I am in Maple Grove-Osseo now, and yes I did go to the little park by the pool off 100 and 36th a few times when I lived over that way... Your plan for 2 wednesdays from now sounds good, will have to hammer out the details here....JEFF

Sounds like a plan for next week, Bill! Tomorrow night, the 3rd, meet at BW3 posted above, in Champlin at 6:30 or so, ride at 7:00 pm , this will be more of a leisure ride, bring any type bike, not many "spots" or jumps or anything on this ride, just a cruise thru some trails, maybe eat before or after a BW3's, my number if anyone needs it, six one two- 802- three 488, if anyone needs a bike to ride let me know, got 1/2 dozen options here...
