Bicycle trip to Lanesboro, MN



Our group not only plays Pickleball, but we like to bike. Many of us went to Southeast, MN to the Cottage House Inn to bike to Root River Trail. We biked during the day and rewarded ourselves at the pie shops along the trail for a ride well done. Then it was more food, drinks and games before and after dinner. A good time was had by all, so much so that we'll do it again next year. 

The town is seriously considering painting lines on their 2 tennis courts for Pickleball. Seems we were't the only ones to visit Lanesboro that wanted to play. Hopefully, next year it will be biking and Pickleball. We'll let you know when we go. Perhaps more of you would like to joun us.

There are beautiful large homes In town that were built in the early 1900's by wealthy New Yorkers who thought this was a wonderful, cool place to spend their summers. Today, most of them are B and B's.

We have no idea what Don is thinking. Looks like Sue is trying to fugue it out and is as perplexed as we are.
A really neat diner. The only one at the counter that doesn't belong to our group is the guy in the maroon shirt.

Some of the old mansions, now B & B's.
