Attached: 3 images #MSTRAM Day 5: Granite Falls to Marshall, 50 miles The weather cooperated and I safely completed the #BikeMS ride. It was foggy climbing out of the Minnesota River valley, but it was sunny the rest of the way. We rode through the Yellow Medicine Nation tribal lands, and then past 1862 Dakota Conflict memorials. A shower and lunch and I'm ready to head home. I enjoy tent camping, but it will be nice to be in my own bed tonight. #BikeTooter

Attached: 3 images #MSTRAM Day 4: Wilmar to Granite Falls, 57 miles. I left Wilmar early because the mosquitoes were swarming in the campground. Then at the first rest stop I discovered the cap for my sunscreen tube came off in my under seat bag, so I had a sticky mess to clean up. But after that it was a good ride. Mostly flat and a tailwind for half of the distance. As a result I had the 2nd fastest time for a ride this year. No rain in the forecast, so clear sailing (biking and camping) ahead. #BikeTooter

Attached: 4 images #MSTRAM Day 3: Wilmar Loop I left for my ride early to hopefully miss the impending rain, and I luckily finished just before the first deluge. Today's ride was by far the most scenic, riding the Glacial Lakes State Trail and then around Green Lake. I'm now seeking refuge in the arena in Wilmar. Hopefully it will be dryer tomorrow. #BikeTooter

Attached: 3 images #BikeStreak Day 110: Last full day to train for the #MSTRAM so I rode 50 miles, Douglas Trail to Pine Island and then back via county roads. One of the roads I chose has two pioneer era cemeteries with gravestones dating back 140 and 150+ years ago. It is interesting to find the pioneer and ghost town cemeteries still maintained and often still in use scattered around the countryside. It makes you wonder what those ghost towns were like back then. #BikeTooter
