The way points of this bicycle route:
Ride towards Lake Nokomis
Take frontage road behind highway 62 to Bloomington Ave and cross into Richfield
Go inside Fort Snelling Cemetery and ride its perimeters. Take a moment to observe its enormous scale. You can also take a watch private jets taking off at nearby the nearby runway.
At this point you can cheat home on the Light Rail or continue riding south.
After departing the cemetary, take 34th north and take 70th / Post Road. Haul ass past the jets landing along this route. It will take you to a Super America on Highway 5. This is a nice spot for a water or snack break.
Cross Highway 5 into Fort Snelling state park. There are many routes, trails, and picnic spots to get sidetracked on. Pass under the Mendota Bridge near the tour center and keep heading north on the bike trail along the river.
Eventually you’ll encounter the Minnehaha dog park and the Falls. Take another break at Sea Salt or the DQ.
