TMacD decided it was finally time to do another bike tour after a long covid hiatus. This time I am going solo, which means: this is a standalone but also self-contained tour. It'll be just me against the world without any noisy interference from the media. No news, no podcasts, no TV allowed.
There are several maps below that show routes from Minneapolis to Brainerd. The return route is mostly the same route in reverse. I have found that it's best to provide alternate roads in certain places. This allows for changes if the conditions, or my whims, dictate a change. Different maps from point A to B might not be identical, but they do not differ by much..
Below is a picture of all the items I'm carrying with me on my bike.
I tried to be as minimal as possible.
I'm planning on updating this site every evening with a summary of each day.
