Such pleasant weather..  Day 2 of our bike adventure. Instead of making a beeline to our destination, we meandered up to the Hennepin Canal trail.

Our B&B host suggested a stop at the historic Ryan round barn.

Canal trail crossover. It was a nice place for a picnic... Just us and our creamed chicken over biscuits.

Canal trail crossover. It was a nice place for a picnic… This was the only time we saw other people on the trail. Ron kindly offered to take a picture of the couple (who had driven there), and they accepted, but did not return the favor.

Creamed chicken over biscuits and bread pudding (with actual pudding on top?)  It doesn't look too appealing, but it tasted pretty good in the middle of our 30-mile ride.

Flying down the open road!  After trail riding, it feels good to get some speed on the way to a B&B from 1854.

    Looks like another fun adventure……don’t forget you have a very flat place down south to bike! (And a free bedroom! ;-))
