2020 Route and Event Plan

The Westside Dirty Benjamin felt irrelevant the past couple weeks as we go through the tragedy of the George Floyd murder.  I hope everyone has been getting through these difficult times, are safe, and able to support your family & community. 

We still are planning on having a ride next weekend, here is the plan:

The route is similar to the 2017/2018 versions that runs from Chaska to LeSueur is just shy of 100 miles.  The GPS and Cue sheet files will be posted by Wednesday night, along with more course details.  Link to google map is here

-The timing for the event will run through the Strava app.   

-The ride may be completed anytime Friday 6/12, Saturday 6/13, or Sunday 6/14

-If you are interested in riding in a group consider starting on the hour 7am, 8am, 9am etc.  If you wish to avoid riding in a group consider starting between quarter after - quarter to the hour. 

-No registration in required for this event. 

***PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE'S SOCIAL DISTANCE.  NOT EVERYONE MAYBE AS COMFORTABLE AS YOU ARE***

The start locations are:

Veteran's Park - 619 Creek Rd. Chaska, MN 55318

The Jolly Green Giant Peck St. & Main St. Le Sueur, MN 56058

Timing and Strava fine details:

-The times will be based on moving time.

-There will be a +/- 1 minute time variance that will result in a tie.

-If you have an alias on your Strava account and would like your result posted as your name please send an email to westsidedirtybenjamin@gmail.com

-If you end up riding to the event or add extra miles add a + sign to your ride name, We'd like to give props to those ride a bunch of extra miles (otherwise known as the Royal Benjamin)

-If you don't want to run Strava and want your name on the results page please send an email with a photo of your cycle computer or timing device.  Strava is needed to be enter into the the top 20.
