Finally a day with clear skies and sunshine! I decided to head for my favorite trails along the river valley in Hastings, MN.

I know... I post a lot of rides from that location, but that is because the trail system around this small town is the best within 100 miles of home.

Here are a few shots from Sunday's ride:


What do they call this? Dual track? Anyway, this one is hard-packed and very nice to ride on.


The cornfields outside of town are doing well with all the rain we've had. "Knee-high by the fourth of July" shouldn't be a problem this year.


Oh look! A vertical terrain feature. Not exactly a majestic mountain, but we'll take it.


Sure makes a nice backdrop for the bike beauty shot, doesn't it?


They call this "Bluff Bridge", for the obvious reason.


The sculpture garden has been refreshed with this single piece. The artist was clearly inspired by the last Winter Olympics, and the spectacle of Curling.
