This information is for a limited audience but I have no way to address them directly without going through this list. Yes, I could wait and tell you tomorrow morning but for some, including me, having this information before you leave can be a comfort.
I called the City of Red Wing and found out where it will be safe (no ticket, no tow) to leave a vehicle overnight (Saturday night) while we ride: 1. Target lot. This is fine but you need to check in with Target manager, let her know your vehicle and plate # and when you will return. The PD recommends this because Target lot has security cameras. Target phone is 651 388 7704. Best to call today since they will just be opening tomorrow about the time we plan to meet. 2. Bay Point Park. This is the same place we are going to meet at 8 - 9 a.m. on Saturday and it is the place from which we will start. The park closes at 10 p.m. to vehicles but not to pedestrians. Capt. Darryl Glander, who is a bike rider himself, says it is OK to leave a vehicle at this location overnight and that there is no history of vandalism or theft of or from vehicles in this area. This will be my choice since it is just one night and it is to convenient to where we meet. I was very impressed with the help from Red Wing PD. - could not have been nicer. Best wishes. See you tomorrow. Californians and East Coasters - eat your hearts out thinking about us out here riding in this beautiful relatively unspoiled area.
