Weekend Rides?

That is one cool bike mirror!!! I didn't ride much this weekend. Just 2.5 miles with my boyfriend. He just bought a bike last week and hasn't been out much so we just took a twirl or two around the block. You girls have really been doing some riding!

25 more miles this afternoon - as stoker on a tandem for the very first time TOMORROW will be a rest day This means I've ridden 105 miles since Monday - not my norm but I will take it!

Neat pics Reesha! I did the Cannon Valley Trail on Saturday starting and ending from mom's house in Red Wing, which gave me 43 miles total. I don't ride trails much, but that one is my fave and I had to be in RW for family stuff. The trail follows along the Cannon River as it winds it's way to the Mississippi and is just gorgeous. I started early, because it was going to be stinky hot and windy, and avoided the worst of the heat and wind until later in the ride - once off the trail it was blowing so hard it almost knocked me over. And the heat.... well, it made that last steep climb up the bluff to mom's house a dizzying experience and I had to stop at the top and allow my heart to come back to normal.

DH and i did the Zoo-de Mack. 50 mile ride on Sat. We also rode quite a bit around Mackinac Island with the dogs in their trailers. they loved it and so did we!!!!

I did the Zoo-de-Mack with my clipless pedals. Yay!!! First time I really used them at all and I was scared but, it was all for nothing. they really are not that bad--I love them now! I forgot to take my camera or I would post some photos but, it was a great weekend.

I never know which thread to put Friday rides, but since it was for fun decided to put it here

Last night I did a quite windy 26 mile ride on a tandem - and decided I like being stoker on a windy ride Tonight was a fun and easy 10 miles. Rode to a friends house and then just tootled around a park for an easy ride. Tomorrow morning will be a longer ride with friends but we are just going to play it by ear.
