Troop 55 Root River Bike Trip | |
| Root River may be one of the most scenic areas to ride a bike. There are options for long rides, difficult hills, scenic rides and just about any combination. | 12 scouts and 10 adult leaders went to experience the bike trail. Nobody was disappointed! 10 of the 12 scouts finished over 50 miles of biking. |
|
We started out Saturday morning. Not too hot, only a little wind. After about 10 miles, we stopped in Peterson. As luck would have it, they have a wonderful shop that sells homemade ice cream. What a great stop! |

After another 11 miles, we stopped on the trail for lunch. A word of warning. The map shows several "picnic sites". Each site was one picnic table. |
|
After lunch, it was back to the trail. Time to head back (only 21 miles to where we started). |
 |
|
In case you didn't know which town you were in. this was a nice water stop. At this stop, we decided about going an extra 10 mile to get homemade ROOTBEER and the 50 miles or heading back to camp. |
| After a long ride a good dutch oven meal sounds great! |  |
 |
Deb and Loren made sure we had enough fresh picked sweet corn. Lets see . . . 70 ears of corn, 24 scouters . . that might be enough. The corn was excellent. Thanks again, Deb and Loren. |
| After a long bike ride, what's better than a long game of ultimate frisbee? |  |
 |
Sunday morning, we awoke to a little rain, followed by a beautiful rainbow. |
