Every fall I do a Cancer awareness ride across Minnesota titled RideMN1 (ridemn1.org). It’s always rural so we have a supporter bring the loo with us. Yesterday I was walking the dogs in town and spotted this beauty on a side street. We’re going to have to up our game. #BikeTooter #fuckcancer #MNastodon #RideMN1
@glightly @ascentale Was on a cross state ride #RideMN1 last week. Several recumbent riders, one very powerful woman who could distance anybody, and into the wind she was fast, so your last sentence very true. Still afraid to try one myself, I just can’t figure out how I won’t fall over.
#biketooter #MNstodon Day 7 #RideMN1 I left the main ride at Cromwell MN today and headed for home on 3 wheels, something I've wanted to do for a couple years. It was a great ride for the past week and I've made new friends as always. Beautiful back roads to my first stop in Moose Lake city campground. Treating myself to pizza tonight, tomorrow will be a very long day for me with pulling the trailer, but according to the weather gods, the wind will be at my back. I love #cycling #cyclinglife
#biketooter #MNstodon Day 6 #RideMN1 Palisade to Cromwell MN felt like we had motors with a fresh tailwind and sunny skies. Looking back at the map, kind of surprised we all made it, but the route marking crew knew how to keep us on the right track. Picture doesn't do the rubber ducky mailbox justice, but the scenic roadside continued to enhance the fun of #cycling. I love #cyclinglife
@ascentale Tonight I'm joining from tiny Cromwell, MN, USA, last night of #RideMN1 for 2023. Today on the ride we noticed people on the shore of a small lake almost hidden by the tall grasses of Wild Rice.
#biketooter #MNstodon #cycling Day 5 #RideMN1 Another cold night, but a golden sunrise over the lake. Peddling east past Tamarack trees under blue skies towards a rendezvous with the #Mississippi river along the Great River road. When we stopped for lunch I'm certain the driver didn't notice the sign in the trees. Stopped for the night in Palisade MN. I love #cyclinglife /2 of 2

#biketooter #MNstodon #cycling Day 4 #RideMN1 Darn cold night, mid 30's at sunrise, grateful for 3 cups of #coffee before we set out. Peddled east towards a warming sun, passing the Hobo in Boy River MN, looking for #bigfoot in Rener MN, and having a glorious afternoon on the lake in Hill City MN. This is what cyclists do when they say they are tubing! I love #cyclinglife /2 of 2

#biketooter #MNstodon #cycling Tuesday day 3 #RideMN1 Today ride through the back roads of N Central #Minnesota today to Federal Dam on Leech Lake. 60 mile from #Bemidji State Park, via Minnesota Nice Cafe in #Bemidji, mostly cloudy skies and intermittent rain showers. Happily campground has washer and dryer and they're free. The line of #RideMN1 riders in the laundry hasn't slowed. Got distracted and missed a beautiful sunset as skies cleared. No cell service, sending when I can
