another epic ride with Raul ("Alcala"!?)
116miles, 6h24m, 18.1mph avg
sunny and 70(?) in November!
Gateway Trail to Pine Point, Raul caught fire at this point, tailwind sustained 28mph for 10 miles, barely hung on, Norell to Scandia, Lindstrom, Eichten's bison burger warshed down with a Fat Tire, odd van with a "BULDORF" licence plate, complete with horns and bollocks, Taylor's Falls, St Croix Falls, WI, down 35 to Somerset, WI, Stillwater, Myrtle, back to Gateway, then straight home...boogered
sunset, the clouds on the western horizon had an orange rim, reminded me of a mountain range, always dreaming of the Andes and the Alps and the Himalayas, where heaven is so much closer rarified air, stratified bears
and descending, aach, so blessed
All Saints, spirits no longer hindered by earthly forms
