Two Week's of Rides

Last Week's Ride:

A week ago Tom took me out for THE RIDE.... We it the BIG 100. It was awesome but WOW was I tired at the end. We started with a swing by the Coon Rapids Dam after passing Tammy and Deans. Saw a salamander and a snake on the trail.


SALAMANDER!



The Colors were AMAZING!


SNAKE!


We then took the longest way possible to Chevis and Dan's house where we stopped for a Super Hero popsicle with Daniel, I had spiderman, Tom had the Hulk and Daniel had Iron Man... So good. Then we had to hit Minneapolis and do a lap around Lake Calhoun before my computer would read 100 when I got home. It actually read 100.1.


The Final Count.



Today's Ride:

Today Tom and I rode out to Karen's house and had her join in the fun. After we picked her up, we went through Minneapolis to St. Paul. From there we took a few different trails before heading back on the Grand Round trail. After we dropped her back off we headed home... saw 3 Bald Eagles today. One was young w/o the white head, the other two were in the same tree on the lake.


We also stopped by the little gnome home on Lake Calhoun. Pretty cool...




Saw a squirrel get hit by a car... idk why they go across and then decide to cut back while they're underneath the car... He got hit and struggled, back legs kicking furiously, pushing his head across the pavement, while the front two were rendered useless. We stopped so Tom could end it's pain, but as soon as we got off our bikes, it had stopped kicking.
