Yesterday's ride was a lovely jaunt down the shady Minnehaha Parkway to Lakes
Harriet and Calhoun, in a breezy, sunny mid-70s of a summer day. We traveled an
average of 13.5 mph or so, taking two hours to ride about 23 miles (with a nice
little break at Lake Calhoun). We even saw a few other Bike Friday riders out
on their little wheels; folks I hadn't met before!
Next ride will be this month-- possibly a Friday-Friday-Friday (which is a
Friday evening ride on a Bike Friday to a TGI Friday's restaurant to eat
appetizers and socialize), or perhaps a weeknight ride on a Wednesday (June 17
or 24 are possible dates).
Interesting events coming up this summer include the Nature Valley Grand Prix, a
series of pro racing events on June 10-14 in the metro area and southeastern MN,
as well as the Tour de Tonka, an organized, supported bike ride of several
different lengths around Lake Minnetonka on August 1st.
Happy riding!
Cheers,
Christina
