Cycling In the Sun

Mary, Stew, Kate and I had a wonderful 35 mile bike ride around the Twin Cities yesterday. It had been cloudy and cool all week, but Saturday was sunny and crisp. We explored the Mississippi, Fort Snelling, Minnehaha Creek, Lakes Harriet and Calhoun, and the Midtown Greenway. Just a great city tour - made easy by the great bike paths we have in the Twin Cities.



Barny's creative use of the camera - trying different angles and approaches - inspired me to try a couple of photos while riding along the river in Saint Paul. Here are Mary and Kate powering down the road.



and an over the shoulder shot of Stew, who was holding the final position in our draft line:



There were stops for wine and cheese along the way - and our speed and cadence would not have been adequate for Peter or Barny. But it was a truly great day with great friends.
