River/Phalen/Como Loop Labor Day Weekend

[gna]

If you're in town, are you up for a ride over Labor Day weekend? I'd
like to ride a River/Phalen/Como loop in St. Paul, so we're looking at
a bit longer ride:

We could start at the cross, point H or so, to shave a couple of miles
off. There are a few climbs in here, and it's close to the St. Paul
classic, but I'd like to ride through Swede Hollow and the Vento Trail
to Lake Phalen.

What days/times work for people? Maybe Saturday morning? Or Monday?

I am in. Saturday morning or Monday both work for me right now. This
will be a great ride, thanks!

Ok, we're going to ride Saturday, September 3rd at 9 am. Meet at the
cross, Summit ave and River Pkwy in St. Paul. There is parking nearby
for those who drive. I've heard good things about the Swede Hollow
Cafe, so we will make a short detour and have something to eat there.

Gary and I had an epic ride. It took 5 hours (with a kind of lunch
break included) and we faced hills, humidity, wind, rain and a set of
stairs that went on forever but it was a good time. Here's the route
data. GPS shows were we got lost so effectively...
