Headed up to Minneapolis this past weekend, taking the scenic route.

Decided to shoot some video along the way.

Road becomes more challenging at about 9:20. Speed is a bit deceiving. I was averaging 45-70 most of the time.

I had the sunroof on vent and the pass rear window opened a crack. The video was shot with my cell phone (original looks better than the youtube's hd selection).

I've done this route countless times on the bike (in both directions) in years past, but never in a car. As you'll see, there's a reason to go at about 50% pace with plenty of margin.

Once we got to MN things got a whole lot more interesting. Less elevation changes, but just as many corners and absolutely no slow moving road barricades to contend with.
