The Minnesota Miles Blog
When we roam the state we come across so many things that make Minnesota special. Awesome trails, cool people and great places are what makes us grab the bike, the skis, the paddles or the boots and head outdoors. Read about it here.
Trail Pairings: Stillwater
The iconic 1931 Stillwater Lift Bridge has been reimagined as a bike and pedestrian crossing. Imagine pairing a ride on the new loop trail with a visit to two Stillwater breweries.
An Iron Range Weekend
The new Redhead Mountain Bike Park opened a few weeks ago and the Mesabi Trail has added more miles. Time to visit the Iron Range again.
Physically Distant on the Dairyland Trail
If you’re ready to ditch the crowds and get some gravel, central Minnesota’s Dairyland Trail fits the bill.
Take Your Next Meeting Outdoors
If your new home office is also a laundry room, you might want to try one of our custom Zoom backgrounds!
Your Corona Story
It’s been another week of cancelled plans and life upside down.

Trail Pairings: Mineral Springs Brewery
The beers at Mineral Springs Brewery come with stories and the fat bike trails are groomed-a perfect match!
Trail Pairings: Drastic Measures Brewing
A visit to Wadena’s Black’s Grove Park pairs well with an après pint at Drastic Measures Brewing.
Trail Pairings: Bad Habit Brewing Co
A ride on the Lake Wobegon Trail pairs very well with a visit to Bad Habit Brewing in Saint Joseph.
Trail Pairings: Beaver Island Brewing Co
A canoe trip on the Mississippi deserves a pint at Saint Cloud’s Beaver Island Brewing Company.
Trail Pairings: Revelation Ale Works
20 miles from Canada and North Dakota, Revelation Ale Works serves up cold beers to warm you up after skiing Lake Bronson State Park.
Trail Pairings: Take 16 Brewing Co
In the far southeastern corner of Minnesota, a trip to Blue Mounds State Park finishes off nicely at Take 16 Brewing Co.
Trail Pairings: Brau Brothers Brewing Co
There’s a beer-dispensing fire truck at Brau Brothers in Marshall, MN. Just what I needed after hitting the Camden Trail.
