Over? Over? I don't think so.

We certainly don't think we're done riding for the year just yet. Yep, the weather will take a major dump this week with plummeting temps, (it's Minne-fooking-sota, for cripe's sake) but it'll bounce back in a dandy fashion. Two upsides: the winter solstice is 10:28 on Dec. 21. That means the days are longer starting on Dec.22. And don't forget about the I-Cycle Derby on Jan. 1, 2018. See, your day ain't so lousy afterall.

In the meantime, a couple of picks from this weekend's riding....

Near the Mississippi River. Takes a minimum maintenance road to get there. Oh yeah.

Atop the bluffs near Lake City.
