We walked our bikes across this bridge, avoiding eye contact with BNSF workers, hoping our trespass would be forgiven

Root River State Trail
Cycled half the beautiful Root River State Trail in SE Minnesota with a friend. Refueled with ice cream and lefse.
Snapped Derailleur Cable
Rear derailleur cable snapped, so I diverted to Freewheel Bike for emergency ice cream while my bike was in dry dock.
Freeways
Cycled through the grittier side of Minneapolis. It was good to be on a cycle path, and not on a freeway.
Bike on a Train
Rode light rail to Fort Snelling, then cycled both sides of the Mississippi via St. Paul.
Bicycles Welcome Here
Cycled with a friend to Depot Coffee House in Hopkins where we stopped for a cuppa and spotted this mural.
14-Miler with Kid
We did a 14-miler. Along the way we visited a liquor store (to buy water), three geocaches, and Dairy Queen.
Annual Mounting of the Bike Rack
Mounted bike rack for the season: I’ll be using it this coming week to go cycling with a nephew.
Black Friday
Black Friday: A good day to cycle over to #wedgecoop for groceries.
Taking Advantage of the Weather
Long shadows. Hit 57 degrees today: a day to be outside, exploring. Best to defer work and chores for another day.
