The Gateway to Stillwater link will be a real heavy use corridor. Makes me wonder about taking the old Milwaukee Road trail down to Hastings/Prescott, then wrap it back up to St Paul on the west side of the Mississippi along all of that undeveloped riverfront. Dreaming big...
Gotta dream big. This winter stinks here.
Not really enough good snow for cross country skiing and fat bikes. The city streets are dangerous with ice everywhere.
We took off and skied Copper Mountain and Vail last weekend.
As for your route idea, we need to get some ideas going for a big C&V get together this spring or summer. Some folks have expressed interest in a gravel ride and some want nice trails. The route you just mentioned would really fill the bill for an all day paved route. Not too hard, not too easy. Plenty of scenic beauty and restaurants along the way.
Let's start outlining some dates for folks soon.
