Due to the COVID – 19 coronavirus, the ULLR Ski, Bike & Social Club’s planned events had to be cancelled or postponed. The Club cancelled the Nisswa Bike trip scheduled for June 1 -4. We cancelled our local bike rides for the month of May. Rides scheduled for the remainder of the summer will be determined for appropriateness and safety by the trip chairs as they come up. The status will be posted each week in the Ullr.org website.
As of June 1, we still plan to hold the Ullr 70th Anniversary Celebration at the Minnesota Valley Country Club but on Sunday, September13. It was originally scheduled on May 16. If the virus continues to spike, there is a chance of cancellation, so please check www.Ullr.org for any updated information regarding scheduling changes.
The Ullr schedule for hikes is October to mid-May. We did need to cancel hikes in April and May 1, but the scheduled May 11 hike on trails in Long Lake Regional Park did take place. We all brought our own lunch. There were 16 Ullrs who walked close to 4 miles, and we did quite well with the 6-foot distancing rule.
The Ullr summer picnics held twice a month at Brookview Park in Golden Valley have been cancelled. The Golden Valley Park Dept. has given us the option of reserving a shelter later in the summer if it is considered safe. Any updated changes will be posted on the Web.
The scheduled Ullr Singles’ card/game nights and Fine Dining on Tuesdays will also be decided nearer to the event on whether appropriate to safely hold. These updates can also be found on the Ullr Website under Singles.
