Week of June 28th - weekday ride reports

[badgercat]

Anyone else gone for any? Last night (Wednesday, 6/30) I met up with some nice folks for a leisurely ~20 mile ride down some multi-use paths to a loop around a lake and back, facilitated by the Omaha Pedalers. We stopped for frozen custard on the way back, and I had a delicious sundae for dinner. I haven't done much riding on MUPs since our streets are so bike-accessible back home in Tucson, and I always hear horror stories about kids and dogs, but it was a pretty smooth trip overall.

The ride started with 8 people and 5 of us were on Treks, with one more on a Gary Fisher. Hmmm. Anyway, this may have been one of my last rides before I get my new road bike and turn my Trek in to a faaaabulous commuter.

I've attached a snapshot of all of our bikes lined up while everyone was ordering the custard--do you see the ride leader's Surly Pugsley? The picture isn't so hot... I was facing the sunset and rushing because the girl was calling my name that my sundae was ready.
