Anne and Fredo were in town for the weekend and what a beautiful weekend it was. We went for a ride Saturday along the MPLS side of the River Road via LRT. FYI, if you take this route and decide to stop in for a tasty treat at the Dairy Queen near Minnehaha Falls, the don't take plastic. Cash is what they will need and I am not talking Johnny. So we hit the BK Lounge and had some burger goodness. Anne felt pretty bad about eating at the BK, like somehow she was betraying Culvers. We shot down to the 50th street station and hopped back on the LRT to MOA.

While riding back Anne was in a mood to learn how to get up curbs on the bike. She had mini wheelies down but curbs were still a little tricky for her. She tried a curb with an uphill after it and didn't do so hot with it. We found a better place to practice and she got up right away. Next, bunny hops, then tail whips. She'll get it.

After Anne left I had some sushi for dinner and then watched The Hard Road. After that I went for a quick MTB sprint up a hill and around The Mall. It was around 8k total. I felt like shit because of that damn hill right off the bat and I hit the sucker at about 20mph and finished at the top around 13mph. My lungs hated me, the legs felt great. Stupid lungs.


I need a road bike, I like the road. But......I can't wait for T.O. and the river bottoms to open.
