🙀 ScaredyCat Pt II 🙀
Shoutout to our most points winners, DFL winners, costume contest, and raffle prize winners! 🤘
Enjoying the ride to the fullest is important to us, and recognizing that sometimes showing up can be a bigger challenge for some than being the fastest time to the finish is for others. We want to celebrate all riders and prioritize getting the most out of the ride as someone wants to.
This is why we didn’t do fastest times or time based podiums but focused instead on riders who completed all the things! And of course, the most important podium position ever. DFL.
We also wanted to leave it up to a bit of chance for anyone to win, regardless of how fast you went.
We could have been better at communicating the whole system, it was new for us and we are still learning. We’ll be better in the future and hope y’all enjoyed! 🖤🩶💖
Last week’s Wednesday ride was epic. It wasn’t a hard rain, but it was constant. The water dripped from our helmets and sprayed up behind us.
Otherwise it was a normal Wednesday ride. We chatted and joked and enjoyed each other’s company and our usual ten miles. Back at Sociable, we got BOGO ciders and chatted some more. Just a typical Wednesday night with Northeast’s best people.
Come be one of them tonight. Meet us in the Sociable parking lot. Rollout at 6pm. Easy fun ride. We’d love to hang out with you whenever you’re ready to hang out with us. (No rain forecast for tonight.)

Summer may be over, but FTW rides keep rollin'
Join @sglowac the second Thursday of the month at @angrycatfish for the FTW winter ride series. Rides will be a safe space for FTW riders to try out winter night riding. Any bike will work, but be sure to dress for conditions, bring lights, and layers.
Rides will be no drop, about 90 mins, and at a place quick enough to keep us warm (12-14mph). If we're lucky enough to see snow, we may even take this show down to some trails!
Unsure about riding in the dark or in cold weather? Missing some gear, but you still want to try a winter ride? Visit the ACF discord and look for the FTW channel for more info or to ask questions or hop on over to @angrycatfish to get you and your bike winter ready.

🙀 ScaredyCat Pt I 🙀
We’re still reeling from a beautiful day on bikes with so many friends two weeks ago! (Maybe that’s why we’re delayed posting this 🧐)
Thanks to everyone who showed up to make it our biggest ScaredyCat yet! HUGE thank you to all the volunteers! 🖤🩶 This event wouldn’t happen without the support of folks running checkpoints, setting up start and finish lines, and everything in between!
Final shoutout to @prophetsofmothra and @northernhammerband for absolutely crushing that after party! 🤘
More photos and podium pics coming soon!
Join us on Sunday, November 15th for a Yess Yoga ride! We’ll meet at Arbeiter Brewing at 9:15AM and ride over to @yessyoga for their 10 -11 AM Slow Flow class. Yess Yoga has the most amazing studio, instructors, and vibe and we can’t wait to introduce you if you’ve never been! Yess Yoga will have yoga mats available for use.
This ride is very short, coming in at just about 3 miles, and will be at a very chill pace, but please arrive on time so we can make it to Yess before 10:00AM! We’ll take the Midtown Greenway all the way to Whitter, where we’ll park our bikes and get ready for class. We recommend signing up for class on Yess’ website ahead of time, as classes do fill up. The fee for a single Yess class is $25 .
About Slow Flow from Yess: Sometimes it feels great to move, sweat and breathe, but a mellower vibe is in order. This vinyasa class takes things down a notch, bringing attention to transitions and creating space for final relaxation. Movements in this class will generally reduce the amount of time spent bearing weight on shoulders. Don’t be surprised, though, if the work feels harder at a slower pace. Build body awareness and enjoy a class that provides both ample time to explore the fit of postures and movement at a more meditative pace.
The Country Ramble 2026 brought the perfect weather, good people on bikes and 45 miles of riding!
The best part was riding with my little man who conquered his longest ride yet!
Thank you, @bikejerks for putting together a great ride and @velomeat for leading the way! What a beautiful day of trails, bike lovers and sunshine!

You may know James Brenner from such giant iron and glass sculptures as the backstop at the 22nd Ave Park (formerly Jackson Square Park), or the iron and glass pieces on the corner of 22nd and Monroe. Or even the massive iron and glass ring in the traffic circle by the Mall of America.
Brenner’s works use common materials, but he still manages to build pieces that are recognizably “Brenner.”
“Passages” is another classic Brenner that does as much to shape space as anything he has made. Come check it out with us on Sunday morning at 10am.
The Hook & Ladder “campus” features a ton of art actually (see photos) and has the JROW Sculpture Park right next door. This is what the Arts District is all about.
Standard reminders:
Coffee (Outside) is about getting to know Northeast’s people and places. It’s a low key hang with neighbors and friends in a different spot in Northeast Minneapolis every Sunday. We’ll have some treats to share. Hope you can make it! (Hint: bring your own coffee ;)
Also join us for yoga by Lisa at the bike shop at 9am. Easy class. We have mats to borrow.
And we launch the NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) each week at about 11am. This one is about activating our neighborhoods to make our streets feel more comfortable for people.
It’s free, open to all, and created to foster community. And that’s you!

Hope to see you there!
Gutted and so sorry that I had to cancel @roadrunnercup tonight. But alas this was something out of my control and that’s okay.
I’m patting myself on the back right now as I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish and organize in just a few short weeks of time. This wasn’t even a blip in my eye at the beginning of September. I miraculously was able to find partners that believed in my vision, while not even batting an eye to the things that were important to me. Those were juniors all race free and one night FTW Non-Binary all race free. Without these partners and their support, this never would have happened so thank you @berdspokes, @theloppetfoundation and @endurancepromotions.
Then it was just getting you guys to show up, trusting that it was actually going to be anything good. And you guys SHOWED UP, truly amazed and shook by the numbers I look at while writing this recap. 233 riders started between the two nights and one night a 34 FTW field, which might be the biggest MNCX has ever seen (I could be wrong, pulling this out of my ahh). I don’t think i’ve ever seen the trailhead that busy at a bicycle event like I did on October 20th.
I appreciate every single person that raced, spectated, said something positive about their experience, gave me feedback or simply supported me. SO THANK YOU! And thank you to all the volunteers that came every week and put down on one of the best night cyclocross events this city has ever seen 😉
This is only the beginning of @roadrunnercup, It will be back. Bigger and better than ever in 2027.
💜

Last Call for Deals 🚨

See you on the flip side.
Tonight, night #3 is officially cancelled 😭😭😭
Unfortunately there is no plan for another reschedule so there will be no more RRCX in 2026.
Refunds for registration will be sent out today, if you have any questions pertaining reg please reach out!
Series winners will be contacted privately so we can get prizes out.
We had two incredible nights of cyclocross racing and some of the biggest fields MNCX has seen in years so THANK YOU for bringing the good attitudes and fun. The vibes were unmatched and it was inspiring to us to keep this momentum rolling. This will not be the end of Roadrunner, we will be back next year!
Two reminders:
1. MN State Championships are next weekend Nov 14-15th if you’re available.
2. Wool socks and layers to donate for our unhoused neighbors! Taking donations till Thanksgiving, inside the loppet trailhead. Thanks to @geno_atb for organizing this.
It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.
Thank you again, this was a lot of fun!

MN Gravel Homecoming? 🍁🍂
@thefilthy50 always feels like it! Although the heat felt more like July this year 🔥 A favorite way to end gravel event season for so many, including us!
This year we focused on getting more folks on the start line of both BSCC members and scholarship recipients! As well as leading the Friday shake out rides (Sorry we missed ya out on course, maybe next year?)
We had 6 scholarship recipients head down to Lanesboro with us after going through an on bike gravel clinic earlier in September, it was so great to celebrate big accomplishments with these folks as well as BSCC riders and friends!
Special shoutout to BSCC Board alum @chaosclairebear for getting married during the event and on course even! 🖤
