We finally did it. After months of talk, planning, and waiting, a group of us (Liesl, Erin, Christopher, John, and I) set out on a biking trip to Afton State Park. It was not uber-far, just shy of 35 miles, but it was the longest in a day for some of us and the longest for us as a group. In the end, it was 34 miles in total (including a few wrong turns and random detours), with an average speed of 11.3 mph and a top speed of 32 mph (going downhill at the park entrance). We rode for a total of 3 hours with an additional 1.5 hours for a casual lunch in St. Paul. I will post a few pics shortly once I receive them from others, as I did not bring a camera. Meanwhile, enjoy this important video clip on bicycle safety.
