Map update - I'm geting sooooo close!

Just a couple roads left - can you spot them?

Number 16 - MN Highway 86 into Lakefield, MN

Not the most beautiful day out - cold and windy on October 11th.  



Number 58 - Interstate 94 from Hastings, WI

A nice "Major Entrance Monument" example

Number 59 - Highway 10 into Hastings, MN from Prescott, WI

Fun fact - In 2017 Dan Gaz, and I (Thom Rieck) biked across Minnesota, setting a world record for the fastest bike team across Minnesota - West to East.  We covered 194 miles in 9 hours and 21 minutes and ended our ride in Prescott, WI. It was fun to visit again!


Number 6 - Highway 63 into Winona... kinda

Highway 63 into Winona is getting a face lift, so all of the signs are down (you can almost make out the pile from my picture spot).

:(


Number 61 - Highway MN 60 from Nelson, WI across the Mississippi into Wabasha, MN

Both sides of the Mississippi are beautiful here (of course I prefer the MN side).



The only truly gravel road that I encountered on the whole ride - MN 74

Minnesota Highway 74 has a short ~5 mile section that is gravel. However, it does happens to wind through some very beautiful areas of southeast Minnesota, so I can't fault it too much. If you're in the area and have an adventure bike or don't mind a little gravel, it's a fun ride!


Number 2 - Minnesota Highway 76 into Eitzen

A little faded, but very fun to ride to!
