A familiar ride

TOPWLH can now also report that Campagnolo has a thumb lever. Today BB was back on her Bianchi. The Bianchi jersey would have been an approved fashion choice but a coolish start to the day had her in long sleeves. I had on my arm warmers.The ride covered very familiar ground, the 8 lakes tour with the mid-ride stopping point being at the parking lot at Lake Vadnais.

As we left the lake we came upon two visitors to the lake of a species we don't see very often. These are pelicans.They are fishing and fishing today was good. We watched as they repeatedly launched themselves at the surface of the water followed by a sit up and neck shimmy to help make the fishies go down. Umm, umm, good.

A lot has happened in the corn field since our last photo.The season is nearly over, there is corn on those plants just waiting to be harvested.

I've taken that ride, and it is a nice one. I don't remember pelicans, however. That seems a little bizarre.
