An Afternoon on the Root River Bike Trail

RRT—Lanesboro to Harmony: 46.33 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 3 hours 42 minutes, average speed 12.4

Because of the wind and cool October temperature, we decided to drive to Lanesboro and enjoy a day biking on the Root River Trail. The trail towards Rushford will be closed until December but the news is good—the trail is being widened which should include some much-needed resurfacing. We took off towards Preston with a lunch stop at the Old Barn and then onto Harmony where we stopped in at the Crunchy Side. We learned here that the Root will be extended soon to continue on to Forestville State Park. All land has been acquired so that the project can finally become a reality.
