Some say our waters have magical powers.

The beauty of cycling in #Minnesota - Give it 24 hours, and enjoy a different season. #Winter returned today and likely Monday and Tuesday.

Saturday with 90% chance of 3 inches to 390 feet of snow tomorrow. Relax. Deep breath. Earlier today we saw tiger lilies crawling out of the earth. If winter gets a laugh, let it laugh. The sun is warm and we’re tipping (at least mentally) to spring. You too? Good ride today on Cuyuna’s Iron Hub gravel loop. Adventure by bike on the @salsacycles Blackthorn loaded full of @teravail and @whiskypartsco goodness. @ridetherange #mountainbike #gravel #happiness ...

Our @teravail Trail Cam shows the paved trail in excellent condition, Miner’s Mountain road a great climb and descent. Mine lakes are holding on to what looks like slush on the surface. Mountain bike trails are still temporarily closed as they look to be soft and gooie. Get out and walk or ride our paved surface trail! #Cuyuna #magical #onlyinmn @ridetherange ...

#Coffee - The excellent news is the sun is always shining at @highwheelconfectionery in Ironton. Yes, they have candy and fantastic chocolate; their popcorn is a must-do, and ditto for the ice cream, and the second floor is full of toys. But on a lovely crisp March morning, we recommend the large latte, hot, of course. Stop by, make it happen!

How to cycle #Cuyuna when all the natural surface trails are closed? Hit the gravel roads and paved trail. 33 miles. 1,500 feet of elevation spinning Iron Hub (Cuyuna), Eagle Drive (Cuyuna), Miner’s Mountain Road (Ironton), and Woodpecker (Riverton). In Cuyuna there`s no season like the between season. @ridetherange ...
