We’ll hop on the Minnehaha Trail for the first section, then turn onto the appropriately named Pleasant Ave for the remainder. Then we’ll all warm up with some Coffee & pastries at Wild Grind ☕️.

This isn’t an official Piecycle Group ride, but we thought we’d share it because Eli & Emma have been such important fixtures in Piecycle since the beginning. Many of you have met Eli and Emma at a Group Ride. They’re lovely, sweet, kind, and they’re moving to Colorado. As hard as it is to see them go, it’s an incredibly exciting change for their family and we’re as happy for them as we are sad for ourselves. The bright news - They’re hosting a little get-together to say ‘bye’.

Saturday, December 30th

If you’re driving to the start, parking should be available at the Nokomis Community Center. The bike park/old tennis courts is right across Minnehaha Pkwy from the lot

New ride category! We’re so excited to introduce “Mini Pie” neighborhood rides: Super short neighborhood rides that give even the smallest of riders a chance to join on their own wheels! Every kind of scoot, pedal, and stride is welcome 🚲

These rides will have an extra long (30 minute) playground hang at the start, donut snacks, and a coffee shop play session at the finish. The routes, including this one, are short and low on traffic.

We’re opening with the Windom neighborhood in Southwest Minneapolis and everyone is welcome! In fact, we’re hoping these rides are a great way to explore neighborhoods you might not usually visit. We’re also hoping for some neighborhood ambassadors to host future Mini Pie rides in their neighborhoods!
