right, I've found out today that I may be able to go to our Minneapolis office for a few months this autumn (or should I say fall?!) /winter!
it looks like I'll be there from mid/late september so I'll hopefully get the chance to ride later on...

I've found a couple of local hills on google, and I'll have a car out there, so longer journeys will be do-able... I may even be able to take a week off to go riding somewhere (Dani - make up a bed for me if this happens please hun! )

just wondering if anybody has any experience of riding out there? or any ideas for a bit of a weekend road trip etc...

also, i'm not allowed to mention it at work yet, so I really just wanted to tell people and feel all smug!

Dude, driving times... SLC UT=20hrs, Boulder CO=14hrs, Jackson WY=18hrs, BigSky MT = 17hrs...

In the US... that's nothing my friend!! Save some holiday and ROAD-TRIP!

We'll do upto 3hrs one way for a day-trip, 5hrs for a weekender..... SLC from Calgary was 15hrs of nothingness, but was great fun!... At least you get the joys of North Dakota to drive through!!

Hope it works out for you fella!
