Border-to-Border Desire Chatsworth Bike Ride this Friday

[Chatsworth Avenue, a relatively pleasant street.]

Hello there. It's been too long! 

Just for fun, I'm going to lead a bike ride this Friday that will follow one of my favorite secret routes through St. Paul. In my head, I simply call it "Desire Chatsworth," because it traces a straight north-south line where Chatsworth Avenue should be. It's one of the only bikable routes that actually crosses* every railroad and highway boundary in the city, at least if you squint a little bit.

Along the way, we'll stop a few times to discuss St. Paul history and how the topography and geography of the city reflect inequality and diversity. 

We'll meet at the southern border of the city at Summit Brewing at 5:30, depart around 6:00. We'll end up at the northern border of the city at Ted's Rec, and from there you'll be on your own. 

Hope to see you then! 

* Warning: the ride will likely involve some light trespassing
