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.
This Thursday at 9Pm is our monthly “virtual meeting”. Everyone is encouraged to call in and catch up on the latest news and events. See the Events page for Phone # to call. Agenda will include: Upcoming events, Trail updates, Update on work with the DNR, discussion on membership with District 23 ARMCA, and more.

Midwest Mountaineering has its annual Outdoor Adventure this weekend at the their store and nearby at the U of M campus. This is a great opportunity to learn new camping skills and see the latest gear. See http://www.outdooradventureexpo.com/201104/Index.shtml for more info, directions, and schedule.
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!
