JBlack,
For living in the middle of nowhere, you really have some beautiful real estate
to scooter through. I know you are fimiliar with the Twin Cities. My riding group spends about 75% of our rides in SW Wisconsin aka The Driftless Region.
I would really like to join you for a ride - but across Western Minnesota and South Dakota is a long haul.
Ride on amigo.
