Hiawatha Trail Bike Ride
www.ridethehiawatha.com
This has been on my wife's bucket list for a few years. It's NOT hardcore and nearly anyone can do it but against my better judgement I am endorsing it. It's fun, normally beautiful and something that's pretty unique. 15 miles along an old early 1900's train route. 10 train tunnels and 7 200ft high trestle bridges to cross, and mostly downhill.
The day we arrived it was raining. Once we started it began to rain hard. Our trip was a little bit miserable honestly but I can see how it would be awesome with good weather. It is really busy though so go early (it's on pacific time) and beat the crowds. We had fog/clouds and rain so it's tough to see the bridges in the background but they are very neat.

If you go let me know and I'll tell you about a very cool place to stay nearby on the cheap.
