Scott, maybe you'll change your mind about a winter tour after you get bored of touring all over the world 365 days a year.

Thank you Rocky for making Cycle365 available for me to express my goofiness when I'm not on tour.

Thankyou Mike. Whether I'm a badass or not, that's definitely the image I like to project.

Hey Rich, thanks for finding my journal and for the comment. Also, thank you for that A+ grade. It's the first one I've gotten in about 50 years.

Okay, if camping while on a winter bike tour is what it's gonna take to convince you I'm a Tough Guy, then that's what I'm going to have to do.

I know the time will inevitably come when I'll have to buy a snowblower or hire a plow guy, but I'm holding out until the bitter end.

Now that I know it can be done, I might consider another winter tour. Probably not this year though. Maybe I'll plan the next one with a below-zero theme.

Hi,
No need to apologize to me, although I think that apologizing like you did is just about the most Minnesota thing ever, and reinforces my view that Minnesota is just an extension of Canada that doesn’t pay taxes to the queen. Heck, ever the accents are similar, except for “out and about” which will give away a true Canuck every time.
Having reached an age where camping in freezing conditions is no longer enjoyable, if it ever was, I agree with your choice of accommodations. And although there were eagles, there was a distinct lack of bears, which may reflect their good judgment to just sleep through the awful weather, or maybe they’ve left the suburbs for good and headed for more rural milieus. Did I ever tell you about my encounter with a bear near Hudson? We parted on good terms, I’m happy to report.
Anyway, back to the tour. You certainly deserve a pat on the back and a hearty “ well done” for this one. I had been anticipating a steady diet of reports from tropical climes, which, frankly, are sort of extended brags from those whose fortunes have granted them leave from the vicissitudes of winter, much to the chagrin of us poor home-bound creatures stuck in foggy/snowy/icy hibernation. Your example lights the way for more intrepid folk, and will , I hope, be but the first of multiple adventures into the un-toured world of snowbound suburbs.
Let us offer our congratulations while we await further developments.
Cheers,
Keith

You are definitely a very tough guy and I’m always glad to read your journals and rides on Cycle365! They are always so funny and entertaining. Glad you made it home safely.

Pretty sure the Harris Poll is wrong, and Group 2 includes more than just seven members. Count us in, but not for the second condition. We would never willingly undertake a tour like this ourselves, but thanks for reminding us of why.

You sure meet my definition of tough guy with this tour, but if you had now only camped. That would have definately put you over the top!

I think you definitely renewed your Tough Guy certification after this trip. By the way, I used to like shoveling. Now I enjoy watching my plow guy do his thing at 6:30am, knowing I just have to do a little cleanup with the shovel after he’s gone.
Oh, and GOOFY, maybe yes. But substandard, definitely not! Thanks for the winter entertainment.
