What an awesome weekend…

Hi. How ya doin’? 
It’s Sunday at about 4 o’clock, and I am in the best of moods. The weather was FINALLY beautiful this weekend, and I’ve sorely needed it. I tend to forget how crabby and unpleasant that I can become when there’s no sun, until the sun comes back. I really have to get out of Minnesota. But that’s a conversation for a different day….
Today’s conversation is about biking! ‘Cause Sharon and I did a lot of it this weekend, and it was awesome! On Saturday, we took the bikes to Uptown and rode to Fort Snelling, saw the Minnehaha Falls, took the lightrail to downtown, checked out the Mill City Farmer’s Market, looked at the 35W bridge project (which is positively awe-inspiring), went down the Midtown Corridor bike trail, around Lake of the Isles, and back to Uptown… (35 miles!)
Then, this morning, we participated in a training ride with some of the Best Buy MS150 team, and did 24 miles around lakes and local roads in a strong headwind and uphill. Which seemed to last the whole way, even though that’s not really possible, since we went in a circle. But either way, I’m tired. And slightly drunk. Since we went out for drinks afterwords, and I’ve been sipping wine at home for the last few hours.
Like I said… This has been a nice weekend. Here’s a few photos from Saturday, and have a nice day…
