Rode the Moonlander loaded with some weight for a likely trip to the Maah Daah Hey trail later this month.
Hard to see the map but I go south to Shakopee west to Chaska then back to the start in Chanhassen. The river is the Minnesota.
At about mile seven the trail got more and more flooded. I rode with the BB and hubs underwater like an idiot for about 4 seconds before my brain realized that this was not going to end. I carried the bike for the next two hundred yards or so in up to waist deep water. If I carried it with the bottom third of the wheels in the water it totally floated and I just needed to lift a tiny bit to keep the BB out of the water. Now I don't know if I need to pull apart and repack the hubs and BB. Hate to be in the middle of the Maah Daah Hey trail and find out that I should have done it.

Those trumpeter swans are really big. Six little babies.

Bike looks great with the bags. You almost rode the distance from one campsite to another today.
