Sorry I'm late to the party, but it looks like someone's added a ton of miles just east of Battle Lake to the GravelMap.com. Ride on through Vining and Henning; all the way up to Wadena if you like! Hope you had a good…
wyhaines, THAT is one awesome rig. I remember when I was first introduced to one of these bikes when I was managing a shop in CO. The Girvin fork and the whole concept of the ProFlex was bizarre and amazing to me. They…
Here's my other bike. It's a 2015 Trek Domane 5.9. I love this thing, especially in places where I'm "not supposed to be riding a road bike." Even ridden some mountain bike trails on it. Not quite as much personality as…
Just figured I'd share my rig. I used to have a really great Trek Ion CX bike. In addition, I've tried MANY other geared CX bikes and was never able to really feel "right." After putting what was probably WAY too much…
Hey everyone. Hope the spring is treating you well. I'm in the Anoka-Ramsey-Elk River area, wondering if anyone is interested in getting together for regular group gravel rides. I ride SS, but don't care if you do. If…
Ryan, The best advice anyone can give you at this point is to ride the bikes that you're interested in. That Diverge that you rode might be a great bike, but it's not going to be the same as the Willard or Tamland. Get…

Mike, Rock on! Glad you're having a hoot. Keep that old roadie moving! One thing you'll find, however, is that there are different types of dirt roads. Around here (Central MN) most of the gravel roads are…
That view does not suck!

Craig, You could also find a Trek dealer and see if they can still get the Trek Sawyer fork. I worked at a shop until last year, and I do know there were still a number of them in stock at Trek. Stock on those didn't…
Thanks Bentcrank, this is exactly the sort of thing I set out to find. I'll just move what I have onto that page in the coming days! Thanks again, N
drwelby, Thanks for coloradogravelroads.com. I can't tell you how many times I've used that for my travels. I lived in CO for 5 years before moving back to my homeland in MN. I have been using the county maps that the…
Hey gals and guys, I just started this project last night. I was inspired by a website that I frequented when I lived in Colorado: coloradogravelroads.com I'm working on highlighting all of the gravel roads in Minnesota…
