Gravel Route Please
No time lurker, First time poster, so apologies if I知 doing this wrong.
I would love it if someone would share a Rochester to Mankato, MN gravel route. I知 not a bad web forager, however I have not yet been able to find a route file, or even a map, which would be cool enough. It would be awesome to benefit from the wisdom and experience of others, and not have to delve into creating my own route.

A lot of the farm roads in Southern Minnesota are gravel roads. If you do not identify a route from other sources, perhaps look at the county road maps from the DOT and put together your own route? You would probably have a mix of gravel and paved. Such roads often are poorly marked, you would likely need a route loaded into a GPS to avoid going off route.
I misplaced my Minnesota state cycling map so I can't look at it, does that provide any help?

The ride with gps route planner shows which roads are gravel, if that information is available.
