At the end of our run, bought vegetables, bread, and muffins at Mill City Farmers Market.

Free Beer

Wheeled our bikes along a muddy track beside Bassett Creek, past the abandoned Fruen/ConAgra mill, and on to Utepils Brewery and free beer.

Goldy Gopher

Cycled in search of statuary. First stop: Goldy Gopher, mascot for the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities campus.

Ghostly MTM

Cycled with a friend in search of bronze statues. Spotted an appropriately ghostly Mary Tyler Moore, trapped indoors, still tossing her tam.

View from a Hastings Bridge

Cycled across a bridge across a gorge near Hastings, Minnesota. Stopped to view a waterfall, an abandoned mill, and tinges of Fall colors.

Princess Kay of the Milky Way

Cycled to the State Fair where we watched a Princess Kay of the Milky Way contestant being sculpted in butter in a refrigerated booth.
