Day 11 of #30daysofbiking

It was a low mileage day and weekend for me. Too bad because it was a gorgeous weekend. From what I can tell, lots of others made it out more than I did. As I was walking the dog this morning, bikes were crossing many parts of my route. The #30daysofbiking Twitter posts also suggested a busy day. For example, lof Tweeted, "LOTS of people out on bikes today in Minneapolis. Just think if Bicycling Magazine had seen the city today."

For Day 11 I finally got out this evening for a 2.2. mile ride to and from Dunn Brothers for a little cafe work time. Gorgeous evening blue light as the day calmed down and the smoke from so many people's yard firepits lingered low.

Day 10 of #30daysofbiking (ala Dutchman's Breeches)

My favorite way to end the work week is to take the long bike route home from downtown St. Paul along the Mississippi River to Minneapolis. It is a 15 mile route full of great scenery and dedicated bike trail. I had a great time trying to capture a video description of this route yesterday (which was actually day 9 of #30daysofbiking), but I am still editing it down to a reasonable length such that somebody other than my mother-in-law would watch it.
Until I get the video up, here is one image of the wonderful spring ephemeral wildflower, Dutchman's Breeches, that bloom each early spring along one particular spot of the trail. What a treat it is to see them!
