Had a belated B-Day celebration for our pal, Mark last night. Gifted him w/various accoutrement's of food-bikey & Chloe-crafted prosaic goodness. And then sent him on his way back thru the dark night of Minneapolis with a mild beer buzz and balloons [all pics -clickable for larger]:
The belated Birthday Boy & Chloe.
Mounting up and getting ready to roll...
Oh my, Chloe calls for a Backyard Derby.
Nothing says "Bad Ass" like Surly+Fixie+Balloons...
Chloe gives 'em the old East Coast, "Get yer %#$! outta my driveway... "
...and with that, the Party was over. Good Times.
And then today, the weather was absolutely stunningly beautiful. So I rolled solo while the girls did some errands.
First I rolled thru The Minneapolis and did some elevation riding because I like hurting [some times more than others]... and then I rolled into The Saint Paul for more of the same [which is rather easy to do as SP is nothing but one big hill ~or so it seems to me on occasion].
Chloe and Amy met me in SP for some caffe, and I finally got some snaps [but, of course, the bike was a touch more dirty than it was 2 weeks ago right after she had her Spring Cleaning/Brevetization].
First, The Chicks w/me:
The Bike ready to... Go:
Keep Ridin'... Always
This is just a taste of what spring in Minnesota is like. By the end of the week, the trees will have buds on them, the grass will be SO green and the night time temps will be so nice that you'll start sleeping with the windows open.
By the middle of next week, winter will be nothing but a bad memory...
