On the Road Again

Day 1, Year 2
We left Shoreview (home) and rode to Amery, WI: 71 miles. Perfect weather; 70 degrees and sunny. We rode through White Bear Lake, onto the Gateway Trail and past William O'Brien State Park. We crossed into Wisconsin at Osceola. We thought about staying at St. Croix Interstate Park, but decided to keep going to Amery. We found a county park, 7 miles north of Amery. We pulled in just as the rain started. As no one was around, we set up our tent under the picnic shelter and stayed very dry.
Day 2
Amery to Trego 64 miles, rain all day! We had lunch in Cumberland; soup and sandwiches and hot drinks to warm us up. We rode to Mark and MaryEllen's cabin. We warmed up in the hot tub and dried out our clothes. Thanks Mark and MaryEllen!
Day 3
Trego to Cable 42 miles, light rain at the end. Easy day. Therese bought new bike shorts in Seeley. The bike shop owner convinced me that the pricey ones were worth it! We'll see. Tonight we'll stay at our cabin!
