Elroy - Sparta Bicycle Trail

I stopped by to see the Elroy-Sparta State Trail in Wisconsin while traveling to a conference in Minneapolis. The trail is the first rail-to-trail of its kind in the US. It dates back to near ancient times - 1967.





I would like riding on this trail because it is relatively flat!








For $5 bucks in Minneapolis you can rent a bike for 24 hours. I doubt anyone steals the bikes because, as you can see, they are too ugly. The city was impressive with its myriad bike lanes and bikers circumnavigating through the pouring rain during rush hour traffic. I prefer my quiet township roads.







Rob and Amy were equally as fascinated as me with these rent-a-bikes.





This is the marching band gong that I would like to call my own.

Hey Barb,

the picture of you and Amy and me makes it look almost pleasant whether wise. It must have been between one of those 50 mph gusts. I think there was also zero barometric pressure too!

Ride on!

Rob
