Free fun returns Saturday, July 12

The Lake Links Association invites you to join friends and neighbors in our 8th annual recreational bike ride around White Bear Lake on Saturday, July 12. The guided ride will start and end at the Saputo Station rest stop at Bellaire Beach Park, 2500 South Shore Boulevard.

Riders will be separated into groups of 20 or fewer to ride clockwise around White Bear Lake accompanied by Lake Links guides. Registration will begin at 7:45 a.m. The first group will line up on the trail by Saputo Station and depart at 8:30 a.m. All subsequent groups will assemble right after the group before them departs until all the groups have left the park.  Arrive at the park in plenty of time so you can sign a waiver, put air in your tires at the bike maintenance station, and learn about progress to date and yet to come with this Lake Links Trail.

The ride length is approximately 10 miles. Helmets are required for those who choose to participate, and children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Riders should be at least 12 years old, be accompanied by an adult, and be able to confidently ride in a group with vehicular traffic and occasional uneven conditions. If you plan to ride an e-bike you must be at least 15 years of age, per Minnesota state law.

Please bring your own drinking water. In the event of adverse weather (thunderstorms, prolonged rain, severe weather), we will cancel. Check the Lake Links website (lakelinks.net) for more information and last-minute updates.

We’ll be pushing out reminders in the coming weeks.

Hope to see you there!
