I finally made it out to the mountain bike trails at Elm Creek (on the north end of the Minneapolis metro area) last week. It's an 82 mile round trip but I so thoroughly enjoyed myself on Friday that I went back up there Sunday morning.
I don't typically mess with skinnies but a friend of mine encouraged me to try. I'm glad I did because they're actually quite challenging and a lot of fun, especially when snow covered.
