Nine Hours and New Roads - Part 1
I took yesterday off and spent about 9 hours on my Road King covering nearly 350 miles and hitting some roads I've never ridden before. Before leaving, I decided to use motorcycleroads.com to find some new places to ride and I printed off some maps. I got on the road about 8:30am and the morning commute traffic was still heavy so I jumped off the interstate and stopped at Bob's Java Hut for a light breakfast. The blueberry muffin and gigantic glass of cappuccino were excellent.
My route would take me down US-52 to my first destination road, MN-60E, which I would ride all the way to Wisconsin. Once in Wisconsin, I would continue down WI-35S to my second destination road, WI-95N to Arcadia, WI. Then I would turn around and head north up WI-35, ride County Road O and OO before rejoining WI-35 just south of Diamond Bluff. Then I hit my favorite curves between there and Prescott before heading home and hitting a bunch of traffic due to rush hour and road construction. I returned home around 5:30pm. Here's a map of the route I took:

On with the photos! Here are some shots from a little spot I found along MN-60. MN-60 starts off a little slow with subtle hills and nice landscapes. The road continues to get better and better as you pass Zumbro Falls. Hills, curves, and beautiful farm-filled landscapes are what you can expect. I definitely recommend it.
Just before you reach Wabasha, you get treated so some great curves and this panoramic view.
More pics to come!
