The local weather channel said SE wind so I had to dodge around the Fair again. But once I got past University Avenue it seemed to me that the wind was more SW than SE. I decided to change my route from what I had been thinking and instead tried to get a bit further west. I crossed into Minneapolis (Minneapolis being west) and eventually got this picture of downtown from the south side.
I got a little too far from home before realizing that I had a schedule at home. I was hurrying to get home in time for the scheduled activities of the afternoon and as a result I ended up riding a lot closer to the Fair than I intended to. It worked out OK as I got a chance to visit these old friends:
