Fran Howley and Mel Peterson will lead this ride out of Hudson. We’ll have approx. 30- and 40-mile options and will do our best to avoid killer hills -- but plan on a hilly ride. The pace will be easy as we explore the countryside north and east of Hudson. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. Meet at 9:30 a.m. at Riverside Park in downtown Hudson, begin biking at 9:45. Directions: I-94 east to the first Hudson exit (Hwy 35 north); follow Hwy 35 through town, take a left at the stoplight on Vine St and drive one block to the park. Dining option in Hudson after the ride. FFI: Mel Peterson, 651-776-4330 or 612-867-2192 (cell phone morning of ride).
