Because we extended yesterday’s ride, today’s journey was relatively short. Neither the terrain nor wind conditions changed. However, our surprise was the 32 degree temperature when we woke. The desk clerk told us that if we wanted spring weather in northern Minnesota, we would need to stay around until August. While waiting for the temperature to warm up to a balmy 40 degrees, we ate a slow breakfast and drank lots of coffee.
The most remarkable thing about today’s ride was the lack of traffic. For most of our miles we had the road to ourselves. We enjoyed the Minnesota’s Forest History Center just outside of Grand Rapids. The center houses a museum and a reconstructed logging camp staffed by docents in period costumes. As can be seen from the attached pictures we enjoyed the experience with several groups of middle school children.
