The way points of this bicycle route:
Douglas trail head in Rochester
Douglas trailhead in Pine Island. Will be about 40 miles to the next full service rest stop. Is a church to obtain water from at about 20 miles
Old "St. Rose" church on south side of Co 11 east of the intersection with Co 1
Outside water faucet at church on West side of road
Will follow hwy 52 north for about 500 feet to continue on Co Rd 1
Rest area at Riverside Park plus several gas stations to stop at. Fast food at Hwy 52
Not a good sholder on Hwy 61 though down town. Suggest using side streets to get through town
Porta-potty at intersection
May wish to use sidewalk across the bridge.
Hwy 61 sholder gets rough for a while
Rough sholder on Hwy 61. Exit onto Kimbro Ave and use the frontage road
Ravine Park main enterance. Follow (rough) road to a water/rest room stop. Then hop on (smooth) trail through park ... away from the highway noise for a while!
There is a Kwik Trip if take bike trail on east side of Manning Ave -- about 300 feet south of Co rd 12
Cross Hwy 61 to get on bike trail
Food at the trailhead plus fast food near freeway intersection. May wish to take 1st residential street south of Main St (less traffic) and go east. That road basically ends at Mc-D's parking lot.
Bike trail ends. Will need to use old Hwy 61 sholder from here to Hinckley. Sholder is okay. Sholder narrows some for about the middle 1/3 of distance to Hinckley (after county change). Good sholder from Pine City to Hinckley
Cross over interstate to continue north on old Hwy 61
Left on 18 (2nd st) and watch for trail head signs
Trailhead on Grand Ave (Hwy 23) and 75th Ave. Grand Ave has a sholder.
