Biking with Rochelle

Name: Rochelle Brodin

From: Scandia, MN

Seen: Biking the newly opened Brown's Creek State Trail into Stillwater.

Gear: Specialized Globe Sport Bike.

Best Trail Experience: The kindness of strangers who helped me out when I got caught in a severe thunderstorm.

Worst Trail Experience: Selfish race type bikers who come up behind me and pass without warning at high speeds.

Trail Treat: Fresh fruit and a home-cooked meal.

With $1000 I would: Trade in our old bike carrier for a better one and replace my daughter's stolen bike.

Advice: Hydrate and watch the weather.
