Fountain, MN

The Saturday Farmer’s Market was a small affair but they had some nice looking vegetables and the Amish baskets were pretty and sturdy.  Unfortunately I don’t have room in the RV to buy any to bring home!  We walked downtown and shopped some then had a leisurely lunch by the river before tackling the Root River Bike trail once again.  

This time we rode the almost 24 miles round trip to the village of Fountain.  With a populations of 374 we were lucky to find a place to get a glass of ice tea and a cookie!  The really bad part of this trip, though, was the uphill ride.  My RunKeeper App recorded an elevation change of 1260 feet and it was all up the last 6 miles into Fountain.  I was pooped!  The good part is that is was all downhill going back.  John loves going fast and I tried not to burn out my brakes.
