I didn’t realize you hailed from this part of the world. I’d like to come back and ride the upper end of the CVT some day - I’ll bet it’s an even nicer ride up that way. Surprising that you preferred Burgundy.
3 years agoBoxelder! Thanks - I was intending to look this up.
3 years agoA great way to pick up some hitchhiker ticks. They love tall grass.
3 years agoThe lush green vegetation, boxelder trees, cottonwood fuzz, dirt road, mosquitoes, humidity - it's my childhood. It makes sense since I grew up just north of this spot.
3 years agoHi Keith
I'm totally satisfied with the "lower to middle class" designation. That's one step above the impression I think I leave with most people.
Hi again,
CVT was part of my favorite loop ride back in the day. Never too thrilled with Highway 61 though, especially in the heat. Good memories, all in all.
Cheers,
Keith
Class? Lower to middle -middle, I’d say. ;^)
3 years agoHi,
Neat to see you all together in my old stomping grounds. Not much difference between now and twenty years ago, with a few exceptions like the Newport and Hastings bridges. But riding through stop signs on camera? Hmmm.
Cheers,
Keith
Good spotting! I missed that red sliver underneath all the algae.
3 years agoYes, I was thinking of you as we biked along here.
3 years agoSo exciting to see you on the road again! What a wonderful meet-up with the Feeshko and Greg! I loved seeing the video of you guys riding together. And that is HOT! Hope it cools down a little for the coming days.
3 years agoThat’s how we do resurfacing in Minnesota. Pretty much every trail in Eden prairie, chaska, and chanhassen look exactly like that.
3 years agoOh goodness, that does sound hot. Those shady trails are so beautiful, though!
3 years agoMy kids' grandparents are buried here.

Be sure you look up deer tick. They are nearly invisible and they are the ones that carry the Lyme bacteria not the normal ticks.
3 years agoBoxelders are actually the poor cousins in the maple family. They grow like weeds and like that rich moist black soil. When I lived in MN I tapped them every spring. You have to boil the sap more but it makes lovely syrup, nicer than maple syrup in my opinion.
