Took the long way (Capron Rd and back) because we didn't know a couple of the direct routes became gravel roads.
A nice ride for apples, apple pie & ice cream and apple cinnamon donuts.
Mmmmmmmmm.

It felt good to ride the road bike. Very windy so we took the LPT on the way back.

 Apple Orchard Ride.

What a great day for a ride to Edwards Orchard for apple pie, apples and donuts.
Sandy came over, and we took a leisurely ride to the orchard north of Poplar Grove. We took the long way there because a couple of roads we intended to take were gravel.
This is the first time I've been here since the farm was destroyed by a tornado a couple years ago. They did a fantastic job rebuilding.

The wind picked up, so we rode the Long Prairie Trail on the way back.

How do you like your apple pie?
The bluegrass band was jammin' as Sue had hers with cheese, Mine with ice cream, and Sandy had hers plain.
We also brought home some yummy apple cinnamon donuts. We could smell them a couple miles away!

Riding the Six13 was very enjoyable. I need to ride it more.
My mountain bikes have more miles than my road bike this year.
