From the Organizer
Come join your fellow Birchleggers for the Third Annual bicycle ride on one of the nicest bicycle rail trails in Minnesota on Thursday, August 13, 2026. This well-kept paved trail goes for 28.5 miles from Wayzata to Lester Prairie, Minnesota, past Lake Minnetonka and Lake Waconia. The trail is in Hennepin and Carver counties and goes through the cities of Spring Park, Mound, St. Bonifacius, Mayer, and New Germany.
Riders can do the full round trip of 57 miles by parking in Wayzata, or shorter distances of 38 miles by parking in Mound, 29 miles by parking in St. Bonifacius, and even 13 miles by parking in Mayer. See links to parking lots below:
The plan would be that the riders doing the shorter distances would join the longer group riders at each location and then ride into Lester Prairie together for lunch at the Central Café, also known as “Mary Kate’s Bitchin Kitchen” for home cooked food! The Central Café only accepts cash, so please bring money.
