Was going to bicycle longer, but restrooms on the Root River Trail aren't open yet and I was having stomach issues. Bicycled to Peterson and back to Rushford again.

25 PedalCyclists on the trail today. Only two electric. Heard one kid say, "Mom! It feels like Summer out here!"

Bicycled on the Root River Trail to Peterson and back from Rushford today. Much warmer. On the way there, one third walking. On the way back, so much ice and snow had melted I was able to bicycle the whole way.

2 bicyclists on the trail near Peterson.

2 dog walkers.

Saturday should have most of the trail to Lanesboro melted.

Bicycled the Root River Trail from Rushford to just past Peterson and back, had lunch, then bicycled toward Houston and turned back at first slushy ice patch covering the whole path and bicycled on Creekside trail. Two and a half hours of bicycling time on an unseasonably warm day.

9 bicyclists, 7 walkers, 3 dog walkers.

Above freezing! Took advantage of it.

Bicycled 19.31 K as far as I could (not very far) past Peterson. Saw another PedalCyclist on a skinny tire bike on the plowed portion on the way back home.

Felt so good to bicycle 18K yesterday in -7.77C that felt like -11C after a few days of too much cold and days of travel with the spouse.

Someone snowplowed the Root River Trail from the edge of Rushford to the edge of Peterson so I was able to get more distance. Got on the road for a stretch where snow was too deep.

Whalan Depot's last day for the season is tomorrow. Water fountain in the park in Whalan already turned off.

Lunch at Pedal Pushers Cafe which was the most crowded I'd ever seen it.

Walked around and found a pink door that led to an arcade with axe throwing, darts, and tabletop Galaga.

20251025 Saturday

Bicycled from Rushford to Lanesboro today. Fallen trees had been removed so a good day, despite a little drizzle and a grey day.

28 bicyclists on the Root River Trail. 8 electric bicycles. 8 were mostly in the Lanesboro area.

Stopped at Tiger Trail Lefse in Peterson & got my favorite cool ranch flavor chips.

Great weather to bicycle from Rushford to Lanesboro today. Had to stop in Whalan coming back because I left 4 hours later than I thought I did (oops), and the sun was going down faster than I thought. There were way too many bugs so I admitted I was done and called the spouse for a motorcar ride home.

Had fun at the Peterson, Minnesota Gammel Dag Parade.

A small one, but with a great Master of Ceremonies, and everyone giving their all.

Good day to bicycle. Wasn't really feeling it until I hit about 4 kilometers in, then started to enjoy it.

Spring green definitely showing up.

Peterson bathrooms finally open.

Rushford Depot still under construction until they get enough donations to complete it, so no bathrooms there yet.

Bicycled the Root River Trail today. Spring is showing up in patches.

Peterson bathrooms--not open.

Whalan Train Depot was open and chatted with the owner for a bit and got a couple of things.

Had lunch at Pedal Pushers Cafe in Lanesboro. Many more stores are open there now. Stopped at a bike shop and got accessories.

1 bunny, 3 squirrels, 1 chipmunk.

22 bicyclists. 6 walkers.

Today is "Pi Day" under the ridiculous American dating system. 3.14.

When I got home, I made an apple pie. But in a rectangular pan.

Beautifully warm day so I bicycled 42 Kilometers on the Root River Trail from Rushford to Peterson to Whalan and back in Minnesota.

-7 C bicycling 🚲 from Rushford, Minnesota to Peterson, Minnesota.

Took me 4 hours to get warm after I got home. I didn't feel cold at all while I was moving.

First test of studded tires on 50.6* millimeters of snow worked really well. Forgot the friction would cause more of a workout, but that was good for me.

*updated from 25mm, spouse corrected me.

Sometimes bicycling to water is the only move I have left to maintain my own mental health.
