Congrats to our biking friends (of FDR Park) who competed and completed the Filthy 50 Gravel Race this last weekend in Lanesboro, MN! The rugged FDR park trails and IA gravel roads build ultra-tough cyclists!

Beautiful evening at FDR park. The walnuts have landed this week.

A couple of Fdr park updates as of 5pm July 2nd.

The road into the Park is roughed up from last week's rain.

Tree down in Jesse's Ridge. Its about a quarter way in from the entry by Horse Head.

Shout out to Mike Klein who has been keeping the FDR Park bike trails lean and mean! Thanks Mike!
