Bicycled in & around Rushford, Minnesota.

Part of trail next to Nordic Lanes had a spot with a lot of broken glass. Not sure if it was tear down of old Win Co-op.

Bicycled from Rushford to Peterson and back.

Got Louise back from Smith's bicycle shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin* with new Marathon tires. The old ones had green showing through that I kept missing, but the clerk and my wife saw it right away.

Did my bicycle ever need some work. It's like having a new bike!

Felt down all day. Spouse pointed out we had a really good time with friends in my hometown and I'm homesick. I moved around so much I didn't think I could get homesick, but I lived there for 35 years. It's changed more in the past 5 years than the two decades before that.

This rainbow 🌈 made feel a bit better.

Rushford Public Library has their Bike Share bicycles out to check out

Really great benefit of being a library card holder.

Bicycled the Root River Trail from Rushford to Houston. Portion of the trail from Cushon's Peak to the Houston Nature Center is closed right now, so bicycled the wide shoulders on Highway 16. Going down was great, climbing back up not so much. Great day of weather, without severe winds. Only two trees down on the way.

Wore this cardboard sandwich board with signs on both sides to my local No Kings protest. Very windy with a cold wind that sometimes blew it around and up into my face.

A bagpipe player, 3 dogs, an inflatable eagle, and from 79 to 80 people in the small town of Rushford, Minnesota.

I heard that several Fillmore County people went to the one in Winona. Spouse went to the one in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.

Used the Rushford bicycle repair stand to work on my bicycle. The air pump works after not working last Summer or Fall. I think they replaced the whole unit.

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!"

Bar mitts came off Donna's bicycle handlebars yesterday. Saw a herd of very young deer last night, and a robin today.

No snow on the trails in Rushford today, so this may be my last studded tires day and time to bring Louise out for the Spring

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.

The morning after yesterday's blizzard.

Looking through my photos of last year, snow came down about the same time, but not near as much, and with much less damaging winds.

I saw them removing this pile of snow later in the day.

I like patterns of the cloud formations.

Bicycled around Rushford. Didn't go on the Root River Trail because even though a sunny day. the wind gusts were so high there's a real danger of tree branches falling.

Root River Trail is closed at top going from Rushford to Houston. Wide shoulders on detour will get you there. I didn't go on today, but will sometime in the future.
