Chris's Adventures — CHRIS KVALE CYCLES

A Few Trips

Unfortunately, a lot of my cycling life is in slide form. Maybe I’ll get to those in my spare time.

Who cares if I'm headless? Every year I take a trip from Minneapolis to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is what I carry for 500 miles in four days.

This year I had a whole pack

Third day, on the shore of Lake Superior

Last day, Mt. Brockway, 735' above Lake Superior

Our destination, Eagle Harbor

Still friends

Another year, smaller group. Now I know why my friend Greg was always beating me; he had a secret retractable solar panel.
