Biking the Cannon Valley Trail


On Tuesday this week we were in Red Wing, MN to bike the Cannon Valley Trail. The day started off wonderfully, with temps in the low 60's and overcast skies but no rain! The last hour of our ride, though, we were accompanied by a heavy drizzle which left us pretty wet by the time we got back to the car. We rode approx. 30 miles that day.


Some sections of the trail were covered in leaves.


There were several nice wooden bridges along the way...

Loved this picture-perfect curve with the wooden bridge!



This bridge was pretty impressive.


Taking a break and checking out this cool map of the trail in Welch, the half-way point (roughly) between Red Wing and Cannon Falls.


Beautiful section of trail elevated above the river.


Lots of benches along the way too! We enjoyed a trail snack at this particular bench.


Fun sign at the entrance to someone's driveway that crossed the trail.


Jessica and her Surly Cross-Check enjoying the awesome trail!
