We knew the day would come and it is now, our last ride of this adventure.

The Sakatah Singing Hills Trail called our name today despite the gloomy weather when we woke up. We commented several times it might be easier to go home if the weather wasn’t going to be nice. Not sure if we meant that given it was 25 degrees at home this morning. Here fall is knocking on the door, at home winter is screaming loudly, “sooner than you want!”
But we unloaded the trikes for one last ride and we had the trail to ourselves, 42 miles of long and straight with very little elevation change. Fortunately the trail was in great shape and very scenic and the miles just flew by. Before we knew it, we had made the turn around point and back west we went.
After getting back to the rental, we attempted to pack the trikes but the weather decided to rain on us so we just reloaded and drove about 20 miles down the road where we found a dry parking lot by a town playground. The process went quite smoothly, must be the extensive practice and previous trips, and we were on our way back to Minneapolis to spend one last night before our flight home tomorrow.
Today's ride: 42 miles (68 km)
Total: 901 miles (1,450 km)
