Saturday’s group ride will be from Starbucks in Rosemount, starting at 8:00, and heading to Northfield in a counterclockwise direction. The route starts out through the Cobblestone Lake area, and finding the bike path that goes under CR 46 can be a bit tricky, so look for Dutton Lane, which leads south to the trail. Follow the trail east of East Lake down to 170th Street, where you safely turn left onto Pilot Knob Road.
