After picking raspberries to take home, it was time to leave Jo's hopitality (Thanks, Jo! Wasn't grad school just a couple of years ago????), we started for home planning a stop near Mankato for a bike ride on the Sakatah Singing Hills trail. With just a few missed turns we managed to find a trailhead and hopped on our bikes. The tailwind made for a quick five miles east. Knowing we still had at least five hours of driving ahead of us, we turned around and rode the five miles back to the car.
The ride was short but a nice way to break up the drive – we just wish it had been at the half-way mark instead of only an hour or so from Minneapolis. So back in the car, and home we went arriving in time to unload, eat a grilled cheese sandwich, and unwind.
All in all, we were pleasantly surprised with all that Minnesota has to offer. There are many more bike paths to explore – long enough, perhaps, for some credit card touring!
