YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED NOW - Responses so far have been minimal.  Please confirm participation since sufficient turnout is required to confirm this event.  If interested, but you are not yet ready to commit or you want to assess proper equipment, please attend our advance Sat/Sep 18th pre-ride (meet at 9AM/Lake Riley in Eden Prairie near the LRT Trail - http://www.fbiw.org/Trail/LRTGuide.pdf).

Dependent on group dynamics, we may stage two bike groups.  We should be able to schedule appropriate ride durations for different rider abilities, given our 20 mile daily minimum target (or +100 miles, if needed).  

If sufficient turnout, final permission sign-up forms will be due Sep 27th with estimated $55 fees.  Dependent on our ultimate count, this $55 individual cost may change to cover food, trail fees, camping & gas expenses (refunds or overages will be provided later as needed).

If this fun ride is confirmed, we will meet Oct 4th to plan final routes, bike groups and other logistics.  Last, all participants must wear helmets and provide proper Medical Health Forms (valid for 12 months).
