Rochester Trails

[Aaroneous]

Hey - I was just down in Roch this weekend visiting my parents, and found some trails I never knew existed before... They're well-built, maintained, and almost ridiculously well-marked - every intersection has a sign with the trail's name & difficulty.

Check out http://www.rasc-mn.org/rasc_mtb.html for directions and maps. I rode the whole Eastwood trail, and had a real good time...

Those are great trails . The RASC club does a fantastic job of maintaining their local trails. The club has several good mountain bike folks and does alot to encourage people to participate at every level. Hats off to them!:)

While the Rochester trails by themselves do not merit a drive from the Metro area, the Rochester trails followed by ribs and Jo-Jo potatoes at John Hardy's BBQ are worth the drive! Who's in?

Oh, and watch out for the "naturalists" on the Eastwood trails......

You ain't foolin' !! Hardy's is the best freakin' BBQ in the state!!
I'll have a large turkey plate with hot on the side, okra & slaw...:etard:

Since nobody ever posts over here, I thought I'd dig this up...

Was down in Rochester over the weekend. Rode over to Eastwood on my fixie to check out the RASC trails. Wet trail + too many gear-inches = walking. I saw one set of tracks - this trail's a freakin' ghost town. Plus, like half of it has been leveled to build houses on the golf course.

On the plus side, Roch is great for road riding - wide empty streets, lots of paths, and just out of town is some wicked climbing...

Anyone from RASC ever post on here?
