Hey, I recognize that bridge in the video! We have a photo of you and Rachael on it.

We have the same van! My eight foot long recumbent fits inside without removing the wheels. I love the fold down seats in the van. Cool factor is non existent - you can't have it all.

I've had great fun riding along with you!

Wow! They plow the bike path there!

Here, it is just ride over the myriad of thaw-refreeze footsteps and stupid ATV swerving and spinning. (Illegal for them, but they do it anyway)

So happy to have found your Tour in a Snow Globe. You are intrepid, and in fact your blog here encouraged me to go our and ride in a rainy cold (36 degrees) morning. Thanks.

Every time I scoll down to one of these pictures of a bike lying on its side, I worry I'm going to see your crumpled body nearby in the snow. You're far better on slippery stuff than me.

I think jumping your bike off that would be taking Tough Guy behavior a touch too far. Just my opinion...

Not even my fat tire trike would have been able to ride through that!

Dankbot IPA from Insight Brewery. It's a Minneapolis brew that I pick up fairly regularly. Good stuff.

Too much of a good thing, I guess. I mean the snow. Waiting out the storm in a hotel room might be even tougher than riding, but less dangerous. Good decision.

What foresight!

Hi,
18 inches, eh? Sounds about right for December in Minnesota. I looked up the record snowfall for Dijon, and it’s 42 centimeters in 1964, about 15 inches. So such a thing is possible here, but not very likely. I’ll bet those studded tires are looking more attractive right now. I had a pair, and they got some use when I lived in the great white north.
Cheers,
Keith

What? No report on the beer? What was the catch of the day?

Very wise! We do want you to still be around the next time we come to Minnesota.

Great photo!
