Our Bike & Bird roster is growing! This year there will be 5 Sunday morning trips (June 2, June 23, July 14, August 4, September 15) and 3 Friday morning trips (May 31, June 14, June 28) – All led by Sherry Gray.

This is the third of five Sunday morning rides.

Discover the fun of birding from a bicycle on more than 5 miles of mostly level, paved, multi-use trails that connect four lakes in Shoreview: Grass, Snail, Sucker, and Vadnais, all of which are prime birding locations for Ramsey County (top 10 hotspots on eBird). Landscape here is varied and includes lakes, woods, wetlands, and open grassland. Group usually birds Grass and Snail Lakes, then stops at Taste of Scandinavia Bakery (bring bike lock) for brunch or early lunch. Option to continue on to Sucker and Vadnais lakes from the Bakery.
