A Sunday Ride

Took off at about 9Am to put on a few extra miles before the Coffee Ride. Got there and kind of wound up leading the ride. I like to be at the front anyway. Not too many people and no women, so again, I didn't mind being at the front.

To get to the cafe I went around the lakes and along the creek to East River Rd and then came across the Mississippi on Marshall and up to the cafe. We did the usual route along the river into downtown St. Paul, back along Lilydale Rd to Hwy 13, across 494 and down through Fort Snelling, up to the Falls and back to the cafe.

I came home for a quick bite. The Waffles, eggs and bacon I'd had for breakfast only lasted about 48 miles and I was at 63. Took off again, with camera in hand and went by Cedar Lake and then up into Theodore Wirth Park. It was humid out, with the threat of tornadoes later this evening, so it's like summer with the air thick enough to cut.

I'd hate to be the parents that had to tell this kid he couldn't ride his trike.
Just a great ride...I didn't want to come home. 83/17.0
