I was bored the other night and decided to search for youtube videos on mountain biking in Minnesota. I guess I was curious to see if there were any quality ride destinations that might be close by. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a brand new, purpose built 22mile/35km trail system recently opened near Crosby, MN, which is a mere 500km away. Yeah, 500km isn't exactly close, but when you consider that I used to drive that distance in order to race at Thunder Hill in Swan River back in the day, it starts to feel like a possible long weekend destination. Judging by this video, the trail designers value flow in their singletrack.
