The route less traveled . . .

One of the most joyous moments of bike riding, is when you "discover" a new route.  Today was one of those days . . .
After being a bit surprised that five riders showed for what was sure to be a wet ride, and after 13 miles of a "usual" route . . . Dave suggested we try something a bit different.
Instead of a left turn on Howard Gnesen from Normanna, we turned right . . . onto Locust,
within 1/2 mile we were treated to a lovely view of morning fog over Horseshoe Lake
(trust me, there was fog . . .)
It was simply a lovely diversion, up and down little hills, around corners
Just wonderful.  Thanks Dave!
Although the roads were a bit wet, we managed to
 beat the daily rainstorm
 . . . and had a great ride home!
Tomorrow is off to Washburn, Wisconsin
for the Superior Vistas tour.
