Roller Coasters, Tone Loc, and Potato Chips

A few observations from today's ride:

One

I believe today is the first day I've ridden in Savage, and certainly is the first day I've ridden in Shakopee. There are some nice trails along the Minnesota River in those parts that are not heavily traveled.

Two

Valley Fair amusement park isn't hard to get to via bike.

Three

Seeing the Wild Thing roller coaster got me thinking of Tone Loc. I prefer his Funky Cold Medina over Wild Thing.

Four

It is not advisable to drink a lot of tea before a bike ride. It is advisable to get snacks at coffee shops rather than eating the same ol' bars that are carried in one's bike bag.

Five

On a related note, peeing behind a park map display board like this may help mute the sound of urination.

Six

On another related note, when coffee shops sell apples or potato chips, go for the potato chips.

Seven

Carrying Benadryl can be beneficial for others, not just for one's self.

Eight

I forgot what eight is for.
