RRT–Lanesboro/Fountain/Preston: 37.88 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 2 hours 54 minutes, average speed 13.0
We thought we would get in some quiet biking towards Fountain on the Root River Trail but the families were out in full force all trying to get one more outdoor adventure in before the colder months set in. Normally this family traffic would be on the trail towards Whalan and Rushford but that segment of the trail was under construction this weekend so we had lots of company on our end of the trail.
We hadn’t been up to Fountain in a while so decided on that route today and to add more miles we then looped up to Preston before returning back to Lanesboro. Out of Preston, we decided to see if there was any progress on the trail connection towards Forestville State Park. We noticed a bit of work done but there is still approximately a 7-mile stretch that needs to be completed to allow cyclists access to the State Park via bike trail.
Even crowded with people, the Root is still a bicycle haven and the fall colors add visual enjoyment for us on this last weekend of September.
