After some pretty crummo weather over the past couple of weeks, this weekend was pretty perfect.
On Saturday, I shook off the chill I acquired at my nephew's windy track meet by sticking panniers on my bike, riding for 30 miles, and ending up at the grocery store. Highlight: from the bridge pictured below, I could see tons of turtles on logs and rocks in this marshy area near the river. It's especially endearing to see these critters just a couple of blocks away from the Mall of America.
Today, I met my friend Matt for the MN Ironman bike ride. We did about 75 miles. Some highlights: seeing old houses in Stillwater, noticing the very many Bike MS jerseys people were wearing, riding down a rural and winding road with lots of trees, and seeing a new bridge being built over the river.
I needed that.
