What is it like riding through tunnel 3 of the Elroy-Sparta state trail?
Three words: cold, foggy, wet.

It feels nice on a hot day, but be prepared with a light and know you will get wet!

08/06/2023

Some beautiful views on my ride tonight.
10.6 miles makes for a lovely sunset on the trail!

On Sunday a lucky kid will get to ride off on this sweet ride that we donated for the bike rodeo. This is one of many bikes available. Hopefully you can make it down to the Norwalk village hall for the festivities as any funds raised will go towards our public library.

Will you be headed to the dairy breakfast this year?

Check out these centennial gems that Jes found yesterday! They threw in a squirrel that says Norwalk ‘93 on the bottom (our assumption is that it is from the first black squirrel fest?). The left bell and plate show the hotel Norwalk, which goes nicely with a key for that property that was given to us a few years back by a nice gentleman in Winona (he was going thru some stuff he had gotten from his mother whom had stayed there years back).

25/04/2022

We've been meaning to post these for a bit and keep getting busy, but here is a before/after of one of the bathrooms we remodeled at the motel.
What do you think?

We'll try to get some photos of the rest of them to share as well!

Spring cleaning at The Bank!
Our spring and summer dates are booking up fast. If you were thinking about staying with us and hitting the trail, now is a great time to check availability.

23/03/2022

Now that spring is officially here (even though it may not feel like it today), I thought it a great time to share this video one of our previous guests made.
I'm so ready to get back on the trails and can't wait for the tunnels to be open again!
Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdgKpoaklDw
