Progress

Climbed on my steel Schwinn again, this time with a destination of Lyndale Ave. Today the City of Minneapolis closed down Lyndale to car traffic and only allowed bikes, pedestrians and skaters access.

There was a bike race. The winner being the bike that got to the finish slowest. If you've got a good track stand, this race is for you.
A lot of different activities goin' on including a Yoga class at the corner of Lake and Lyndale.

There was even a bike rigged up to make ice cream as you pedaled. In my opinion, that has some mass market potential. Stopped and talked with Adrian at Flanders, and just as I was leaving saw Gabriella. Lots of families on a Sunday bike outing and more training wheels than I've ever seen at one time before.

This is the first year for Open Streets. I hope it becomes an annual event and continues to grow.

I rode up and down Lyndale a couple of times, just taking in the all the people, then I rode around Isles and Calhoun, for a nice, albeit slow, Sunday ride. Yesterday and today my wrist started to ache after about an hour. This could hamper my getting in longer rides for awhile. I hope it heals up fast. Ribs are still tender, but felt better today, which I'm very pleased with. I may even try to sleep laying down tonight. Wish me luck, I'm tired of sleeping like a horse.

I betcha I put on 20 miles today...rode for 2 hours.

Gonna go hang out with the grand lumps for an hour or so later tonight. Might be pictures posted.
