Hey look what we did this weekend! It was our first camping trip and we headed over to a favorite spot: The Root River Bike Trail in SE Minnesota. The trail is a 40 mile + paved bike trail. We have been doing this for several years and have gone with lots of different people. This year we lost our campground reservation because of the flooding in the area so we tried a new spot. The campground was only ok, but we did get to bike from a new perspective. We biked from Preston to Lanesboro, a 10 mile ride one way. It was beautiful. The weather cooperated. We checked out Lanesboro, then biked the 10 miles back again. Because we rode on Friday night too, we probably did about 28-30 mi. in the days that we were there. (and please note, that I am the only one with a bike helmet on!) For the first time in recent memory, we did not canoe. We were a bit discombobulated because we weren't in our usual location so we didn't know river conditions, or outfitters to rent from, blah blah blah. So we just biked. We won't go a whole summer without canoeing, however. I promise. We'll get that in somewhere along the line, even if we have to go to a new river to do it on! Then, never fear, I have more pictures to show you of this trip, but I'll save that for tomorrow.
