    Know any good roads in Minneapolis area?

    I just moved to the area and I am looking for someplace I can go out and enjoy myself a little bit. Everything I have seen so far is just urban hell/highways/destroyed roads. Any help would be appreciated.

    Basic Riders Course might kill me today

    The company doing it had a conflict with the church that they use their parking lot so we have to do six hours of the riding portion today at 95 degrees... I think I might die.
