A two-ride day

The first ride began around 10 AM, with Johnny S, and Dan K (and Crystal K for a little bit). The route was: 421 (for me), 30, 243, 306, water-hazard (bridge was out) - wading was the solution, more 306, Plum Coulee's Sunset Diner for lunch, 306, 201, Johnny's for beers, 30 and 421 (for me), for a total of 77 kms. It was 26'C and the wind was SSW and 20 ks (or so).

Then, after Dan Dunsmore helped me mow the yard (thanks you Daniel!), I set off to Winnipeg for ride number two. GeeVs and I left her place on River Rd (Osborne Village) at about 7:15 PM and follow River Rd to Wellington, rode through Assiniboine Park, turned onto Roblin and followed it through Headingly. Then we turned around and retraced our route, but detoured to Nucci's on Corydon for Gelato. Justin joined us there. After shivering through this great dark chocolate, raspberry, and pineapple iced dessert, we headed back to GeeVs to regroup. This 55 k ride featured slightly cooler temperatures, more moderate winds, and the stupid bumpy, cracked and bleeding roads of Winnipeg.

So the total ks for the day was about 132. The most this year. Not bad.
