Elements, Girl Pow

Good ride this am on 8 spd Mtn bike. Biked to greenway, then to Hiawatha, to Ft. Snelling, to Nokomis, around Nokomis almost twice, to/around Harriet 2.5 times, ½ of Calhoun, Greenway to 55 again then back to Knollwood/Hopkins and back home. According to my map software (I don’t use a speedometer) it appears 42 miles in 2.5 hours. It felt much slower than it was. It rained for a bit and around each of the lake icy lee sides the elements were brutal. I swear it was sideways sleet.

Amy has been riding to work a bit and with the gals too. Chris has a new SS and Nami is due for a new bike too. There’s actually more spark of excitement this year. They are asking me questions, etc etc. They are all doing the Chequamegon 16 and I sure hope they stick with riding this year….riding more that is.

Did the Red Squirrel get into Chequammy or performing pit crew tasks as a return gesture for a season of support???

Sunday we ride from the Stairmaster's cave by Battle Creek Park... 10AM if you can make it... Another year or two and you can bring Duncan "The Show Stopper" to these suffer fests...

Out.

Yup Hayward pit crew here. Looking forward to riding local trails again too. Will make effort to hook up with the gang. Not doing Cheq Fest again as rider. 2005 was my "improved previous best time by near 40 min year" so sorta happy with that.
