Saturday day trip in MN

[juggler]

We're getting ready to do another Saturday Day Trip. This time through South Eastern MN and North Eastern Iowa.

 

We've ridden some of that are before and the roads and views are wonderful. Total trip distance will be 358 miles according to Google.

This will give us a chance to use our new GPS. We picked up a Garmin 205W GPS. Yeah I know, it does not mount to the bike or have soooo many other features. Well I don't want one for me to look at while driving. I don't need the extra distraction. It's for my wife aka navigator to use then she can tell me where to go. We also picked up a boaters GPS protector case that is clear on one side and still works with the touch screen so she can keep it around her neck on the lanyard and still use it on the road.

The Bluff Country along the Root River is great and a great place to ride. Have a great time.

That was a nice ride. We came across a place in South East MN that would be a good place for a rally. Root River. There are plenty of camp ground in the area and people floating down the river on tubes, rafts and canoes. And the roads around there are twisty hilly and fun. This is in the heart of what's called Bluff Country.

Oh, and my wife got upset a bit because I took this S curve with a 180 degree hairpin at 50mph. Sheesh, the sign said it was a 25mph curve so I figured 50 on the bike was no problem.
