Gotta get the hell out of the Twin Cities, which are aiming to go the
way of LA and NYC over the next 30 years. Used to be great places to
live but have been going downhill due to relentless pro-expansion
policies pushing sprawl out farther and farther. It's a minimum of an
hour's ride in any direction (a couple hours going west) to get out of
town and onto rural roads. Not all "growth" is good.

Way back in 1976 we did our first overseas bike tour, in Britain. One
thing I loved was the city limits really did seem to limit the cities.
It seemed that with most towns, as soon as you passed the border, you
were in rural farm country.

Of course, that was a long time ago. It may be different now.
