well, it was only 360 miles but 400 sounded better in the title. Went on the minnesota swanride, crossing into the wisconsin bluffs south of St. Paul MN.
it's an annual ride i guess, this year on Nov 1st. I rode with the christian motor cycle group (CMA) from Shakopee MN - nice group - I ride with them on thursday nights a few times a summer. It is not a CMA event however. Anyway the bluffs in wi south of st paul offer extremely fun hills and curves and since I did not know the area very well it was nice to be in a group . If you want to try it next year or see some info, go to mnswanride.com
now that I know my 400 and I can ride 360 miles in a day, I may try a UP bike trip next year!

I'd love to get some route ideas from you -would also be interested in meeting in Red Wing or Nelson or where ever for a day ride. Me and another New Prague guy were riding the MN side by Cannon Falls and Welch Village today- got a late start and rode an hour home in the dark - not good - and cold ! reminded of a sled ride.. ya great November -
