I kept catching sniffles from the baby.
The weather went really bad, nine days of rain in a row.
I went to England.
It was TOO HOT.
Today was our anniversary (where did all of that time GO?). We have both been riding an at least fair amount. Today seemed like a really good time to do something significant. We have been to the destination to the south. I am not a bicyclist in this city if I cannot ride to Lake Vadnais, the destination to the north. Today that's where we went.
Those familiar with the regular route will know that we usually ride past Lake Vadnais on the west side of the lake and then make a lateral move over to approach the lake from the top side. This means that we ride through Sucker Lake before we arrive at Lake Vadnais. Today Sucker Lake featured a couple of big white birds.
GRider at the upper end of Lake Vadnais.
It was a nice day for a ride, there was never a point when it seemed too hard, even the change in elevation coming up from the lake was handled fairly easily.
I will say, though, that now a few hours after the ride I feel like I worked pretty hard today.
Which is a feeling I enjoy.

Vadnais! It all looks a little bit familiar. Very serene spaces.
My list of excuses is at least as long as yours. Sloth is on mine, though.
Swans are so graceful -- there were a few on a man made lake in London, too.
Benches. Nice touch. Checking off stuff is great, isn't it?
And of course, Happy Anniversary to you both.
It was a beautiful day for a bike ride to Vadnais and a good way to celebrate 38 years of marriage (yikes). We rallied afterward and went out to a brewery for a meal from a Mexican food truck. It was delicious and it was lovely to be outdoors for dinner. Life is good.
So we're due for a party of some sort in 2 years, yes?
Looks like it was a lovely ride.
