It was wet, but that didn’t stop guys from showing up at the Twin Cities Dual Sport Club’s annual Tech Day.  I personally had a good time meeting and greeting many who I had only knew from email or message boards.  Thanks to all who pit it together and also those who braved the rain and showed up with their bikes.

Brainerd to International Falls Ride this Weekend

April 12, 2011

I am planning to ride the “proposed” Trans-Minnesota Adventure Trail (TMAT)routes  this weekend in the area north of Brainerd and Southwest of International Falls.  I am trailering to just south of Brainerd Friday Night, camping there, then riding all day Saturday, camping again (somewhere) on Saturday night and then loading back up Sunday morning.  If anyone wants to join the exploration of the new routes for the TMAT feel free to post in the comments.  Otherwise, enjoy the warm weather….finally!

UPDATE! = With the new forecast showing a low of 26 degrees and a 50-70% chance of snow Saturday I think old man winter had not left the northwoods yet. Ride is cancelled!
