Day Four
Day four started with a potty break because what we had for breakfast didn’t agree with us.
It was some sort of egg scramble, smoked Salmon thing. It looked good in the pictures. **shrugs
shoulders**. If you go here LINK you can see last weeks blog or here LINK to get to the first of this
series.

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn and Suites in Mankato Mn. We figured why not we are on vacation
anyway. To be honest though it could have been any hotel we didn’t care so long as it was clean, and
they let us bring our bicycles in the room with us.

While in Mankato we went to this Mexican restaurant and had these huge burritos. Neither of us can
remember what it’s name was, but we do remember it was pretty good though. The next day we found
that we don’t like riding in bigger cities as much as we like riding in the country.

A country road’s curves and hills are very seductive a lot like a flamenco dancer. mother earths hips
swing pendulously over the miles. A city is more staccato and way less flowy. (Yes, ‘flowy’ is now a
word because I’ve used it.) Having said that though I also have to say we didn’t get lost on the way
out of town at all. We just had to endure the early morning traffic of a city waking up and going to work.

There is a bike path which leads all the way from Mankato, Mn to Faribault, Mn. called the Sakatah
Singing Hills Trail and it will lead you through Sakatah State Park which is a great treat.

The trail has a multitude of geologies and ecologies along it. You will travel through dense forest and
then through meadows, and fields. Forty one miles of bike path with little or no traffic to interfere with
you. Several little towns and ice cream shops also dot the landscape between the two cities if you
have a sweet tooth and need a moment to rest.

Finally it opens up on the Faribault Trailhead.
That night we stayed in Borders Inn and Suites which is a wonderful old hotel.
The next morning we started off after breakfast and that’s another story.
