What is Minnesota Rovers Outdoors Club?

We are a not-for-profit organization that is one of the oldest, most active outing clubs in the Upper Midwest. Our trips can go from a bicycle day ride to a multi-week adventure on foreign soil!

We offer outdoor adventures every week of the year. Individual members coordinate the trips and activities, which makes us so unique. We occasionally get together for indoor activities as well.

Join the club!

FEB 20 — ANNUAL MEETING & ELECTION

Come out Tuesday for the Minnesota Rovers Annual Meeting and Board of Directors ELECTION. We need your presence to have a quorum — an easy choice to come out, as we have another great presentation afterward!

JUNE 4 — TONIGHT'S MEETING LOCATION

Due to stormy weather, tonight’s meeting and presentation will take place indoors at Ol’ Mexico — 1745 Lexington Avenue N (2 blocks north of Larpenteur)

We share in the community’s anger and grief over the homicide of George Floyd. His brutal death reminds us of the extent of racism and injustice in our country.  We have started to re-examine our policies and actions around racial equity and inclusion. It is clear we have some work to do. We commit to helping create an environment where our Communities of Color have equitable, safe, and welcome access to the outdoors.
