A couple of weeks ago, Rich embarked on the 2008 Jaunt with Jim Klobuchar, a 440-mile week-long bicycle ride through central Minnesota. Here he is taking a break at a historical marker just north of Pelican Rapids.
The bike: 2007 Trek Madone 5.0 with a reinforced, 32-spoke rear wheel to handle the big guy.
Our first day was an 86-mile ride from Pelican Rapids to Osakis, mostly on the 55-mile Central Lakes Trail. It was great! No cars, a nice tailwind, and lots of sun. That is, until we pitched our tents and headed to supper. A thunderstorm rolled through and kept us inside the restaurant for an extra hour until it passed, leaving us with these interesting clouds.
Across Lake Osakis, there was some virga, which is falling rain that doesn't quite reach the ground.
