Parked the car in St. Paul today across the street from the FORD plant, rode to the University of Minnesota, biked around the campus and in to Dinky Town. Then we headed from there down and across the Stone Arch Bridge into Downtown Minneapolis. Continued on in to Midtown and hopped onto the Midtown Greenway for a bit then headed to a little coffee / sandwhich shop called the Birchwood Cafe somewhere around 25th street and 33rd avenue for a bit of lunch (VERY good). After some nourishment we headed to our friends Tammy's house to patronize her garage sale and after spending a few hard earned dollars (and loading down David's bike to the point of almost calling him Jed Clampett) we headed back in the direction of St. Paul.
A gorgeous day of riding...10:00am till roughly 3:30 and saw tons of locals sites. Great company, our buddy Aaron came along and the three of us entertained more than a few folks along the way. Ahhh Aaron...I may not love you anymore...but I don't love you any less =)
We are going again next weekend and this time I will remember to bring the camera. The trees are FABULOUS this time of year...I hear a pictures worth a thousand words but there's a storm coming so you'll have to make do with the measly 225 words so far (I do get extra credit because a few of them are awesome links to fun places you have to see!)
Mega thanks to all the drivers who were courteous and paid attention to us bikers, it sure is nice when we can all share the roads without fearing for our lives!
23 miles of "Me Powered Greatness!

It doesn't get any better than this!
