The best photo from this week was from my ride on the Root River State Trail on Tuesday. You can see the curve of the bluff, trail and river. This is a must ride trail in the driftless area of Southeast Minnesota. Come ride it if you're ever in this neck of the woods.

I rode on that about 20 or 30 years ago.

I have another multi-day ride planned on the Root and its spur trails this May, right after the 3-Speed Tour of Lake Pepin. I’ll be riding a 1961 Raleigh Sports, all original except for tires and tubes on bot the 3-Speed Tour and the Root.

Should be greener then

Going by my photos last year, May 5th is when everything explodes into leafy green on the Root River Trail

#BikeNite

@cainmark @MartyCormack We’ll be hitting the Root on May 18.

Looking forward to the return of green on the trees, accented with warblers and such.

@MartyCormack

That looks like a pretty swollen, fast-running river! Is that just during spring runoff, or is it like that all year?

It was running faster than normal because of the snow melt from the storm a week earlier.
