Uploaded on May 11, 2009 One of my favorite activities, mountain biking at Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan, MN. I am riding a Cannondale F5 purchased and maintained by Erik's Bike Shop in Burnsville, MN. The trail is maintained by MORC (Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists). The song used is Vertigo by U2. |
