Another finally Friday with unseasonably warm weather. Love it. It was quite comfortable rolling down the back roads East of Prescott, WI this afternoon with the car window down. It was a short run; a detour from my normal commute route. There are so many different routes to take from St. Paul to Red Wing [...]
