Our first crossing of the Mississippi is this morning, at Hastings! About 20 miles further, we'll enjoy the paved, traffic-free Cannon River Trail.
There's no avoiding it, today is the famous Pimple Hill climb! Remember, God gave us hills to teach enjoyment of riding down the other side. Redemption comes at lunch time, where you might enjoy pie at the famous Stockholm Pie Company!
Great riding today along Lake Pepin, plus a chance to see eagles soaring along the riverbanks, plus several locks on the Mississippi. Tonight, we're in the town of Winona, a college town, so you know there will be some good eats to discover, along with some fresh local beer!
A little change-up today; we'll find the Rail Trail from just outside Winona and take this traffic-free beauty all the way into Lacrosse! Tonight, our final group dinner together.
Here's your chance for the 3rd state in 5 days! We cross the border into New Albin, where a motor coach will whisk you back to Cottage Grove as the tour ends!
