#bikemn #BikeTooter Went to BikeMN.org Kate Bike Fall Fest today. Will the rain and mist ever end? I think a lot of people did not come today due to the wet weather. I passed on the 44mile gravel and did a 25 mile paved instead and am glad for it. I am so tired […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

A friend of mine is the head cook at a school I got this from them today. A student comes up to grab a roll and says "Why is there a bite taken out of every roll? " I said when the rolls bake and proof they expand and touch and then when I pull it apart those […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

A sheet of freshly baked rolls. Each roll has a mark where they were separated after baking.

The Priority is in the LBS for major repair work so pulled the old Bianchi out and trying to ride it feels like a unicycle compared to the 600. But it’s so light! Checked out the newest section of the Mill Towns State Trail in Northfield out to the old […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Been taking a break from news feeds. Catching up today. When did the BBC put in a paywall on their RSS? Oh, it’s for North America only. Oh well, one less to worry about.

Where do you look for bicycles and parts if you avoid/refuse to be part of the META/Facebook/Instagram personal data theft empire? #BikeTooter

took advantage of a great summer day yesterday and rode the Root River and Preston-Harmony trails for a 60 mile loop between Fountain to the IA border. The rains have not been kind to the trails in general and the Preston-Harmony portion needs a lot of repair […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Been a long time since I’ve been in conditions like this, temp 80F and dew point 79F at 0630 in south central Minnesota. Saving grace if any is the winds will be going along at a good clip. Gonna be some very short dog walks today. #noaa #climeatechange #MNastodon

Training ride today on one of our last nice days before the #heatwave sets in. Gray skies gave way to sunshine. I found that the new section of the Mill Towns State Trail in Northfield is well under way. They've even built a path under the existing bride at […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Hello Minnesota bike folks. Last year someone posted about a bike packing trip that used a city campground in one of the western Minneapolis suburbs. Which I now can’t remember. I need a place to lay up heading north from Rice Co. If you have any places to suggest please post. Thanks #MNastodon […]

$40 billion to Argentina, $300 billion to Iran, trillions in corporate welfare and Trump tax cuts to billionaires. Don't ever let them tell you again that the USA cannot afford universal health care.

Good on ya, #Minnesota! I couldn't agree much more with the #NewYorkTimes that Minnesota is #1 in quality of life. No wonder Trump hates you. #mnastodon

Dodged some thunderstorms and rain this morning in central #MNastodon and got a nice gravel ride today. Lot's of hills so 2k feet of climbing in just under 30 miles. Failed on the 14% grade and had to walk the last 30 feet so I for sure need to get back to the […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Yesterday was the 2026 Heywood Gravel Ride in #northfieldminnesota and it was the best weather day for a ride in years. Lots of folks turned out from what I could see. I watched the 60 mile group leave and the street was packed for the entire block. The music […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Tuesday night gravel ride tonight was brisk. 55F and 15mph north winds made it a cool ride. Somehow a stout made with me to the fire at Chapel Brewing. Glad to sit next to a fire with a blanket. Maybe I’m getting old. #BikeTooter
