Dual Sport Event (Glenwood, MN)

[Lapchik]

Test ran the last 1/2 of the ride. Two roads are closed with no sneaky work around, but I did find a really nice minimum maintenance road detour. Saved a turtle, and saw 3 bald eagles, about a dozen hawks, cranes, pelicans, mallards, turkey, and deer.

One of the closed roads was actually a national wildlife preserve, and the road is "visible" but ends after about 1/4 mile at a private fence.

I made some changes to the first half of the route, which I will be test running Sunday along with the second half again if the weather is nice.

There is now a 2nd gas stop, but I would still suggest hauling spare gas if you are on a small tank dual sport. I carry 2 extra plus my 3 gal main tank. More details after I pre-run the route Sunday.

I will be documenting the ride in case anyone wants to ride it at some other date/live vicariously. Extending RSVP deadline through the weekend.
