Bicycling Minnesota's Lake Wobegon Trail's Northern Spur (August 8, 2024) Beautiful and Remote
We headed up to Walker Minnesota for a couple of nights (at the Country Inn Walker, a good place to stay) for three days of riding on three different trails. Our first stop was the northern spur of the Lake Wobegon Trail. The plan was to ride from Bowlus to Albany and then back past Bowlus to check out the Blanchard Dam on the Mississippi River. Unfortunately, rain showed up sooner than forecast and we had to cut our ride about 12-15 miles shorter than planned. We had heard this was a great section of trail and it is, definitely worth checking out. Nice and remote.

Bicycling Milwaukee's Hank Aaron State Trail (August 19, 2024) What a Great City!

After hosting our granddaughter for a week and celebrating her brother's first birthday we needed some "us" time and decided to spend a few nights in Milwaukee. Over the years we had heard many disparaging things about Milwaukee that we were unsure of spending time there. These warnings turned out to be false and we found Milwaukee a wonderful city and the Hank Aaron State Trail (along with the...

Thank you for another fine video. You’ve inspired me to return to that area. I’ve ridden that section of trail on numerous occasions, but not for several years.
Glad you enjoyed the video. That section of trail is definitely worth a revisit. Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite sections! Very beautiful.
Definitely a gorgeous section of trail, not sure why we had not ridden it before this year. Thanks for watching!
how come i really do not see a river?
No homeless encampments? Being from California, I've come to expect that.
None along the Hank Aaron Trail. It is a sad reality that many bicycle trails have encampments along them. We encountered many encampments bicycling the Pikes Peak Greenway in Colorado Springs a few weeks ago. Nobody bothered us, but it does make one wonder how we can do better. Which trails in California do you ride? We are originally from California (Chico State Graduates), but have not ridden many trails in California. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤
Love the vidios
Glad you enjoyed the video of my fun adventure. Thanks for watching!
Lovely!
In hindsight it was a lovely day, especially with the sun coming out at the end of our ride. Thanks for watching!
@@RichardMooreAndJulieMoore Greetings from a rainy and cold Netherlands 🇳🇱 🌷🌷🌷; but as the Dutch saying says: we are not made of sugar!
We were so lucky with the weather last year. Sunny and unseasonably warm for two of our three weeks roaming around the Netherlands. Even the rainy days were not too bad.
Love your videos. Just wondering how you find the trails? I’m 45 yrs young and just starting out biking someday I wanna try bike camping.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying them. We find the trails many ways; watching RUclips videos, searching for trails via Google for areas we are interested in, using Ride with GPS planning tools and heat maps, also Facebook groups. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
@@jrjoyce78 you are welcome, thanks for watching!
Hey Richard! Love your videos. I don’t think I live that far from you. (Oakdale area). I really appreciate your videos and showing the world some of these awesome routes the twin cities has to offer. I really need to expand my horizons and try some of them. Are you on Strava by chance? Thanks! P.S. I really appreciated the Catholic Church montage!
We are not too far from each other. Glad you are enjoying the videos and our goal of showing trails is coming through. We have so many great trails here in Minnesota and the Midwest. Thanks for watching!
Hi Richard-nice to see this video drop :). I recall biking the Luce Line to Watertown a few years ago and that there was a grocery store close to the trail where I stopped to get a beverage, so I think you are right that you missed it (unless it went out of business :). Haven't done the Dakota trail this season but it is definitely one of my favorites. As I mentioned in video #1, I was at the Carver bike site over Labor Day weekend so nice to see the "tour" in the video - and less traffic noise than Baker for sure, as I recall (stayed 2x at the Katrina group camp site at Baker). We are indeed lucky with all that is available in the TC region :)
Glad you are enjoying them. Like you, I hope Minnesota continues to expand the drop in bicycle campsite concept. Both spots are exceptional for bike packing. I definitely just wasn't paying attention in Watertown, it was a smaller town than I expected. Thanks for watching!
I always like a ride that offers both prairie and forested sections. Your route looks like a winner.🎉
It was definitely a wonderful route with great variation. Thanks for watching!
Great video! What time of year were you there?
Glad you liked the video. We were there at the beginning of October. It was a very nice time of year to be in Alsace and Burgundy, of course, that is the only time we have been there. Thanks for watching.
Richard - did you make it to Carver park? Looking forwad to the next video since I bikepacked from my home down the Minnetonka Regional Trail to the drop-in bikecamping site over Labor Day weekend :)
I did make it and it was great. Wish we had more drop in bicycle campsites. There were only 4 of us on a Friday night but I think the heat scared people off. The video is set to release tomorrow morning. It is so wonderful to see people out bike packing in the twin cities, Baker Park was easy on a week night but would most likely be full on a weekend night. Thanks for watching!
@@RichardMooreAndJulieMoore Agree with the wish for more drop-in bicycle campsites and that Carver was great. Saturday of Labor Day weekend at the site we had a family with 3 kids, one single person from Edina, one single person from Andover and me :). Enjoyed sharing stories around a fire. Car campground was full.
I grew up in Independence on county road 90. Know the area. Thanks
You are welcome, the west side of the metro area is a beautiful place and has such wonderful trails. Thanks for watching!
Keep pedaling you two🎉
Great vlog, thanks, I hope to do it soon.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Fall time would be a great time to do it! Thanks for watching
Leiden is pronounced a bit different. The 'ei' sounds quite like the English 'i' in bike. Glad you enjoyed our little country.
Good to know! We did indeed enjoy our three weeks in the Netherlands! Thanks for watching
11:12 I live on the other side of road
Lucky you live in such a beautiful place. Thanks for watching!
It is definitely a great hike, I wish we had more time and could have climbed up into the center part of the wave structure. Hope you get back soon. Thanks for watching!
I’m kinda bummed I didn’t know about that look out part you showed in the beginning of the video. When I went there last summer I had the entire place to myself for about 45 minutes. I didn’t see anyone. Also wished I had set up my camera on my tripod to get those walking by shots. I completely forgot to do all that but my plan is to go back to Page and explore some more sometime next year. Great video. I enjoyed this short hike!!! You said you spent 3 days in Page, do you have videos of the other places you went too?
Thanks for taking us along, we are planning on going very soon.
You are welcome, enjoy your day in Dogwood Canyon it is amazing. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
You are welcome, hope you get a chance to ride the Mesabi Trail. Thanks for watching!
That stretch you rode from the "wrong turn over the bridge" to the end of your ride was the river, but not in its original channel. Sometime back in the 50's (I think) they channeled the river as part of a flood control project. Essentially, it was a very meandering, slow moving river that flooded easily in the spring. They made it a straight shot so that water could move through faster. I don't know, but suspect that they made the diversion channel that you rode alongside in the first couple of minutes of the video at the same time. You are correct it is a marvelous trail. If you know where to look there are a couple of public restrooms and water fountains. The tower that you saw, but didn't comment about, at Falls Park is a free observation tower with great views of the falls.
Thanks for the info on the diversion. I wish I had known about the observation tower on a clear day it would have been a great view. Thanks for watching and enjoy the loop.
That stretch that you rode from the larger dam up to the spillway at 2:46 wasn't the river. It was the diversion canal that takes much of the flow of the Big Sioux river around the north edge of the city. It rejoins the Big Sioux at the bottom of the spillway and then continues east, out of town. From the spillway onwards you are riding along the actual river. I've walked the loop three times and ridden it on my bike a dozen times or so. It's a nice urban bike trail that goes through a dozen, or so, different city parks.
1:44 The river with the rowers and river barge is a canal, the Vliet. 7:13 "Mooi hè?" (Beautiful, isn't it?) "Nou en of!"(You bet) Nice video. Glad you enjoyed the ride, despite the traffic in Delft and Den Haag.
Thanks for the info! We really enjoyed our tour in the Netherlands and the Delft to Leisen ride was so beautiful. Thanks for watching!
Have you ever done the gitchi gami trail? I did once it’s not a trail to peddle it’s a e-bike must!
We have done all the sections that are separated bike paths, ruclips.net/p/PLhykU7rY16iHJPKsYvAcGnnyXvy57KrpO&si=EWpgxD2tvX3GRInj very beautiful and a bit hilly but not too bad. Thanks for watching!
At 10:08: That's not the Maria van Jessekerk but it's the Nieuwe kerk, the main church of Delft which houses the tomb of the royal family.
Yes the tall tower is Nieuwe kerk, I was hoping to refer to the closer building in the video which I do believe is Maria van Jessekerk which we went into after lunch, very beautiful. Maybe not as clear as it could be. I wish google allowed you to update your video. Thanks for watching and hope you're enjoying a summer filled with bicycling!
5:32 nice ride.. What foam did you use to wrap your areo bars? Thxs.
For a last minute substitution, it turned out to be one of the best rides of our week. The foam is what came with the bars a.co/d/1GRTaZU you might be able for find a similar foam product on Amazon. Thanks for watching!
@@RichardMooreAndJulieMoore nice, thxs
Willard Munger, not "William".
Wow, what a slip. Thanks for watching!
hope to ride the trail this fall
Hope you get a chance to ride it. Thanks for watching!!!
It was the foam that came with the bars a.co/d/2fF0HL0
What foam did you use to wrap your aero vars? Thxs.
Very good, thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Awesome video. We just visited last month from 4 states away and fell in love with the place. Lunch at that sandwich shop is a must! I was surprised how quickly the lavender colors deteriorated by August. We were there on 7/21 and the colors were popping. Probably why no charge here! Still worth the stop.
Glad you enjoyed the video and had a great time on Washington Island. It is a great place. We were surprised that there were even any blooms left on the lavender at the end of August so it was a pleasant surprise. We will have to go back in July! Thanks for watching!
Nice series you made, my compliments. You had great advise planning the cities, the routes and also the season. Generally speaking best periods for this kind of bike trips in the Netherlands are in spring end of April until early June or in autumn end of August until mid Oktober.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the videos. We have had very good luck with European trips (hiking or biking) in the fall. The weather we had for most of our three weeks in the Netherlands was exceptionally nice and warm. The rain finally caught up to us during our four days in Amsterdam. Thanks for watching.
Richard are those folding bikes as good as regular bikes ? Just wondering in case we ever decide to try them
They are our famous folding bikes! We find them great for road trips. Thanks for watching!
I will have to check out that route. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely, it is a nice ride and quieter than the loop. Thanks for watching!
ah welcome in my area :)
You are blessed to live in such a beautiful area with wonderful biking. Thanks for watching!
beautiful place for a bike ride.. 💯
Absolutely, give it a try if you can. Thanks for watching!!!
Looks like it is a great place to ride in the fall too! I am looking for some long trails to ride in September so this would be great one to do since I have ties to the state. Great video as always really enjoy your adventures!
I would assume the trail would be very nice to ride in September, definitely worthy of a long ride. If you mountain bike, check out some of those trails too if you have time. Glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks for watching!
Hi Richard, I was wondering if the neoprene booties are thick enough to be comfortable even when used with aggressively contoured bike pedals. We will be renting bikes and doing the same route as you. Your videos are captivating. Thank you
With our sandals which have thick soles we had no issues. The booties are basically heavier sock thickness. Have a great ride, it is an amazing experience. Thanks for watching!
Cool, man. Wife and I headed that way. Great video. Very excited for the Rock Island to go completely through some day.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. It will be great then the rock island is complete. Hopefully before I am too old to enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
The rowing teams were not on a river, but on a canal, a very old canal built in 1912, but was on the place of a Roman Canal.
Thanks for the video, I live in St. Paul and was curious about riding in that direction, this gives me a better idea of what to expect.
Glad it was helpful! It is a nice trail and by next year the trail will continue to spring lake park and allow us to ride on a trail from St Paul to Hastings. Of course from St Paul you can take trails to Minneapolis and beyond. Thanks for watching!

Agreed, thanks for watching
Thanks for the vid and info. Have you ridden the gap before? If not, any idea how good/bad the roads are in the gap? We're planning the KATY from KC this fall. Trying to decide if we want to ride or shuttle to a KATY trailhead from KC.
You are welcome. We have never ridden or even driven the gap between the end of the trail just southeast of Lee's summit to pleasant hill. My research seemed to indicate it would be rideable depending on your comfort level on roads. We are not very fond of road riding. Another option would be to do the full Katy from Clinton. We did that back in 2021 and it was a great ride. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your video! My husband and I plan to bike this same route on our upcoming trip to Ely and it was great to see a preview of what’s to come!
You are welcome! Have a great ride and thanks for watching.
