Post for June 1, 2021

As this blog shows, I’ve enjoyed bike tours for 10 years now. This day was one of the best. The pictures don’t show it, but the day ended by staying at a lovely home on an island, more about that in the next blog post.

The song for today is Dreamin’ Man since sometimes, people who dream too much have days like today.

Trails don’t get much better

Later, the trail went by modest lake homes. I like modent.

Later still, I had up-close and personal moments with the Mississippi River.

Pelicans flew over me

For a while, I had to cycle on the busy road on the right, until this bike trail showed up. Eventually, the trail ended, but at least I had a short break from the road.

The neat trees on the left reminded me of Europe.

And sometimes, the River would appear.

The bits in the middle are part of a work-out station for the public, what a great idea to put it on the shore of the Mississippi River.

Another small town, always fun to see.

Of course, I enjoyed this sculpture.

This quiet road was so peaceful and beautiful.

A short while later, the road got better.

I love wildflowers.
