Today, yesterday, the day before, & the days before that...


Rewinding back a few days.

Saturday: New Bikes (Salsa Vaya - purchased from Freewheel Bikes)

Saturday Night: Innagural ride to Art Crank with the new bikes. Followed by a stop-ins at Whitey's & GingerHop

Sunday: Bike ride with Shawn to Triple Rock. We cut our time in half by using Franklin Ave instead of the Greenway. Ya know, I am just NOT a fan of the Greenway. Yes, there's no traffic, it's in better condition than the roads, but it's sooooooo BORING!!!

Monday: Road to Leaning Tower for a Happy Hour - then the Attic

Tuesday: First attempt at commuting... = FAIL Mistake: used google maps instead of Cyclopath. They sent me on Kenilworth to get on the Cedar Lake Trail. I'm not familiar with this area so, I ended up riding up and down Kenilworth looking for the turn-off. I finally said F it, turned around, went home, & slept.

Wednesday: 2nd attempt at commuting = success w/minor glitch (mile detour). Got hairy following Wayzata Blvd. Nevertheless... made it.

What do you do?

Finding parking in Uptown is like spotting the elusive white whale sometimes. What to you do when you finally find a spot? You take it. What do you do when the meter says FAIL... you take a picture.
