I am currently sitting in a Dunn Bros. Coffee Shop in Hudson, WI. I
didn't bother to check my odometer on the bike, but I figure I've gone
over 30 miles. I am going to head to River Falls from here. From there,
I then make my way to Prescott, WI, were the St. Croix River and the
Mississippi River merge. Finally, I make my way back to Hastings. Round
trip is probably about 55 or 60 miles.
Several months ago, I tried this trip. I ended up so exhausted I had to call for a pick up. I just didn't have the conditioning. So far, today, I feel good. I took it easy on the hills.
And there are quite a bit of hills. The river road on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix is quite hilly and curvy. To top it off, much of the road has no shoulder, so I am constantly feeling the wind of the cars as they pass.
Now, I am going to be heading down river, but into the wind. Again, I plan on taking it very easy. No trying to maintain a high average mile per hour speed. I am just going to listen to my body. In fact, I've no idea what my average is at the moment. Like with the distance, I didn't bother to check.
Anyway, I'll let you know how I fare later on today, when I get back home.
Hope the best for me, please.
