Unexpected Hundo

Silver called out for an "unexpected hundo".

Starting from Cannon Falls, we headed east through some quiet rolling country roads to Red Wing.
Then after a quick stop, we continued east and south to Lake City.  Again the roads were quiet and fun.

After another quick stop, we headed up hwy 61 to Old Frontenac and we made a side trip to the top of the bluffs at the state park.  From there it was back to quiet roads to Red Wing.

Once we got back into Red Wing, we made another detour up to Memorial Park and then back down to a Kwik Trip for some food and water.

Once more onto the quiet back roads to Cannon Falls and then a nice rest at the Mill St Tavern for a cold beer.

Then it was time to head home.

101 hilly miles on a beautiful day with great friends. 

Thanks, Steve, Ted, Dave, and Kevin.  Let's do it again real soon!

Monday group ride

Probably one of the best nights for riding I've seen this year (except for Arizona).

I rode in to the Monday group ride from Bamber Valley School.  It was a nice sized group of about 20 riders in the fast group, as we left.

I noticed some familar faces were there:  Eric, Bruce, Charlie, Mark, and Big Jim.

We headed SE out of town toward Simpson, then continued south to Hwy 30, then west to Stewartville and more west.  Some guys turned at High Forest and headed back, but about 7 or 8 of us continued west and then north into Rock Dell and eventually Salem Corners.  From there we headed back into town and I headed for home.

I finished with 60 fast miles and some fun memories.
