Happy birthday to my beautiful wife Amanda! For her birthday she wanted to take a cruise down to Winona for a drive down memory lane, or, at the very least lunch at her favorite spot - Great Hunan. Before we got there we needed to make a pit stop at the Holiday in Hastings [pictured below]. The drive was very nice, although not as scenic as the Wisconsin side 61 still offers nice views of the river. When we got to Winona we headed right to Hunan [pictured below]. It was nice to see that even after all these years we can still go in and get the lunch special and walk out totally full for about $15 bucks. That included a $.75 refill on my diet Coke since a refill doesn't come with the special. After blasting through town and taking a quick walk around campus we headed up to the bluffs to get a better view of the city and check out the new houses being built up there. It is amazing that after only after a mile and a half up the road you are at Gavin Heights Park overlooking the entire town. Of course we had to try and recreate the selfie (before that was a word) from years ago[pictured below - note that was almost 10 years ago!]. All in all it was a nice trip, we logged 293 miles and the bike averaged about 39 MPG which is great for riding two up. The adjustment on the pre-load seemed to make a difference so I'll have to send a thank you to the member on the F6B forum for the advice on that setting. Until next time...
