We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

Northern Bike Trip

March 1, 1994 by Mini Archives

By Tony Bernatz

The northern bike trip bikers were Antonio, Tony, Jill, Bill, Katie, Glowman, Gumby, Sam, and Randy. Our campsite was in the middle of mosquitoville. We rode our bikes toward Indian History Monument, which we found out was closed down. Tony was tempted to play a little at Grand Casino. On the way back on our first see nothing for nothing day, we stopped at a tower from Katie’s opinion, to see the amazing, beautiful, and spectacular sunset above Lake Mille Lacs. The second day, the longest ever, we biked around Lake Mille Lacs. We lost Katie, Glowman, Pat, Antonio, and Jill going to breakfast. They rode their bikes to the right restaurant. Later on Antonio broke his bike chain and towards the end of the trip Tony’s awesome Trek bike fell into pieces. Not to mention the awesome shortcut that Tony decided to take. To close the exciting trip, we picked up Tony on the drive out of the campsite, and everyone had a great time.
