We are now in our 2nd of four states beginning with the letter M. Minnesota has been fun so far, with nice stays in Walker and Madden Classic Resort on Gull Lake. Truly lots of water, in the form of lakes. To go along with this, MN has a great deal of rolling hills and trees.
It has always been one of my dreams, on those really windy days in Denver, when the wind is blowing out of the west to ride east and have someone come pick me up, so I don't have to face the headwind to get home. I got part of that wish a couple of days ago, as we had a strong tailwind and it blew us to the place we were staying.
We stayed in Mahnomen, MN a couple of nights ago. I kept hearing single women say this town was going to die off as they said, Look Ma(h),No Men here. I think the town keeps surviving as there is a casino here.
With 3 leaders and 2 vans my riding time has been cut somewhat. All of us like to ride and we share the riding time 3 ways. I end up riding alot by myself, as I pass the slower people fairly quickly and am too far behind the fast guys to catch them. I do enjoy the time on the bike, whenever I get it as anyday on a bicycle is a great day, and some are even better than others. I actually rode to the top of a ski area today in a big chain ring all the way up, so I must be getting stronger. But, part of it might be the ski area was in Minnesota.
Hope to see a couple of friends over the next couple of days.
