Strataling the upper Mississippi River today for a 90 mileblast.
On the road again. Woke to an angry dark cloud filled sky. Concern soon gave way to clear skies and the st. Croix scenic byway under my tires. A little disappointed that this route didn't hug the river as closely as I had hoped. 87 miles total today.
Heavy showers night and day. Seems to me a good day to take a break and get a feel for the final 2 week push into Winchester where I pick up the start of the anchor house ride. I have completed 1837 miles in 21 days.
Another absolutely perfect weather day. Cool morning, tail and cross breeze, bright sunshine. Final 18 miles on the lake wobegon rail trail before being redirected to rural country roads. 95 miles in all today. Total mileage for the full first 3 weeks of riding 1827.
90 miles of all rail to trails. Some areas were a little bumpy, but nothing out of control. The weather and winds were holding up. This states motto is the land of 10000 lakes and I can definitely see why.
A short 64 mile Sunday stroll. It actually felt good to get off of the interstate and plod along some back roads.
Final full day in North Dakota. Stayed on interstate 94 as the winds buffered me from the northwest making today's ride a little rocky. Spent some time in the visitors center observing movie props from the movie FARGO. The acual wood chipped used in the movie was the highlight. Tomorrow's ride turns south east into Minnesota.
