Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Biking from Minneapolis, MN to Eau Claire, WI

Some friends and I are planning to bike from Minneapolis to Eau Claire this weekend and were wondering if anyone had any good ideas for a route. We're planning out our route right now, and are looking for some pointers. I have heard about a system of trails that go from Minneapolis to Milwaukee area. Thanks in advance.

i don't know about routes, but it's been my experience (hitch-hiking, driving, etc.) that eau claire is nothing but trouble.

i've even gone so far as to nickname it the inclement weather corridor.
