Ready for a warm-up? It's coming!

This upcoming week should offer some more comfortable temperatures and it will be welcome!  Yet, as we discussed Thursday night, it won't be long before we start to get excited about 20 degree temps!

We were on the road yesterday, and I missed a chance to list this mornings Off Season Striders Run.  But please be aware, every Saturday 7:30am is hosted by OSS at Charlies Pub in Hillcrest Mall.


  • Sunday 8am:  Off Season Striders are out and about from Five West in Rochester.  Sundays are typically in the range of 4-8 miles, and everyone comes back for coffee or a full out breakfast!
  • Monday 6pm: Monday Maniacs are getting together at Wild Wood Bar & Grill.  This is a fun spot with many options such as catching trails into the woods, or make your way downtown, or run the base of the big old hill! Of course, come back to the bar for the social!
  • Tuesday 6:15pm:  The Tuesday Trail crew is heading to Whitewater for a good 5 miles of great trails.  Gather at the parking lot nearest the Nature Store. After hopping around the trails, we'll hop over to Mauer Bros for the afters!
  • Tuesday 9pm:  The Night Owls have a new location this week.  Join the fun at Beetles Bar on 2nd Street in Rochester.  This gives the group some well let options and of course, a place to gather post run! 
  • Thursday 6pm: Team R.E.D. is back at the Bears Den in Byron. It's been a lot of fun to hit the streets of Byron - if you've never joined us before, consider this Thursday! - Routes are 3, 4 or 6 miles... and we'll all come back together at the Den!
