Road Ate my Plate

Took a few hours to sneak away from the wife and kid for a Sunday ride with E and Ty. Went up 65 to Fatboys for a beer and air conditioning. Feels like a hundred and ten degrees out there on top of the asphalt. Somewhere along the way I lost my plate but quickly recovered it (and kept it in my pocket) for the duration of the afternoon. Hit up a few more spots out in Little Canada, Roseville and Shoreview. Eventually had to call it for the day. Supposed to be hot all week. Suppose it could be worse (raining).

Road Trip – No Mans Land

It’s time for a road trip into no mans land. We’ve left for Northern Minnesota. We’re first headed up to Duluth followed by a trip through Tower and into Ely. From there, we head south on RT 1. For anyone who has never ridden one… this is a road less traveled. The last time I rode this stretch of asphalt, I shifted into neutral and coasted downhill for more than 3-4 miles at a time. Tons of little twists and turns, blind corners and wilderness. My last trip included almost rounding a corner into a wolf standing by the road side in broad daylight. Had to pack the tools for this one. Will get pics and return with stories.
