Lake of the Woods to Green Springs Inn

We ended our trip with a 35 mile ride from Lake of the Woods to Greensprings Inn. Pleasant enough scenery although nothing spectacular. Traffic was consistently light. The terrain was rolling with a few butt-kicker climbs. The biggest downer: the final 20 miles of the route were freshly chip-sealed with a strong asphalty smell, a slightly gooey road surface, gravel bits sticking to our tires, and added heat and glare from the shiny black surface.
At the junction of Dead Indian Memorial Road and Hyatt Prairie Road, this gentleman on a blue Harley stopped for a chat. Turns out, he's 90 years young!
