Geezers trip to Minnesota in October.

Several people have mentioned wanting to do a tour where they can do it all
on trails so here we go. The Geezer fall tour will be October 9 through 15th to
the SE part of Minnesota. We will stay in one location the first three days and
move to a different one for the remainder. There will be no advance party to
scout out the region so we will have to plan things after we get there. So
what's the big deal, the Geezers seldom ever follow plans or maps anyway. We're
going to roll the dice on the weather, too.

October 9 / 10 / 11 we will stay Lanesboro, MN and ride the Root River &
Harmony-Preston Valley State Trails. The total length of the trail system is
about 70 miles with several options. The trail is basically flat but if you want
hills, you can find all you want on the rural roads just a few miles to either
side of the trail.

Wednesday the 12th is travel day when we move about 100 miles to Mankato
for the remainder of the tour. The next three days will be spent riding the
Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail which runs some 40 miles to Faribault with
several small towns along the way. There also several other trails in the area.
Almost all of the trails are paved.

One of the days will be a ride to the German town of New Ulm where you can
OD on coo coo clocks. bratwurst and Oomph Oomph music or chicken dance the night
away. Oh, BTW, the route to New Ulm passes the Morgan Creek Vineyards.

Contact Jim Foreman or Fred Kamp, if interested. But hurry, not many rooms
left.
