Minnesota’s Root River Bike Trail

Root River Trail—Lanesboro to Rushford: 39.54 miles
TANDEM: Ride Time was 2 hours 48 minutes, average speed: 14.0

We have been enjoying our rides each week with Michelle and Alan and this week we all met in Lanesboro, MN, to bike the Root River Trail towards Rushford. The air was cool when we set off but warmed to a comfortable 52° by ride’s end.
We stopped for lunch at The Creamery in Rushford. We all ordered the pizza/salad buffet and ate so much that we had to walk right past the Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream treat on our way out. We will definitely return here in the future.
After lunch, we biked back to Lanesboro. The trail was very quiet today and we only saw a handful of bikers enjoying this crisp, spring-air ride. As we biked towards our finish, we discussed our next biking adventure—a new bike trail near Hastings, maybe? We’ll have to wait and see.
