Well, not really…but we did go biking last weekend on the Glacial-Drumlin Trail. The trail goes a total of 52 miles one-way, we are not nearly that ambitous. Last summer we did the first ten mile segment, and it was a good ride. Crushed gravel makes for a smooth ride (look out for the occasional pothold were the drainage pipes are run) and there are plenty of shade trees to give a break from the hot afternoon sun.

This time we decided to try the second segment of the trail, which runs 6 miles to Lake Mills. We enjoyed this stretch as much (or maybe even more) as our first ride. The trail was nice and flat, perfect for recreational riders. No big hills to start out or deter new visitors from embarking. There was plenty of scenery, old railroad bridges, wildlife, and even a small tunnel we passed through.

One of the best surprises was the view of Rock Lake. The trail runs right alongside the lake, providing nice water views and a welcome distraction when your legs get a bit tired. There are plenty of rest points, including picnic tables and the nice bench where we took this picture. Next summer, we hope to continue our gradual journey across the divide.

A note on the bicycles – yes, they are identical. We tell them apart by the color of our waterbottles. As all good couples should.
