Home for a few days to ride, then off again
I saw my bike in my work parking lot late Friday evening, sitting all by her lonesome.. and decided it was in HER best interest to come out and play for the weekend.
did stay home Friday night, but i wasn't overly productive.
Saturday was nice so I went out on the bike for a few hundo miles (HEAVEN!) - headed towards Hastings, detoured on a couple of cool twisty side roads on the way.. saw and stopped to take pics of random roadside things (quirky things that make me laugh)....
Then down 19 to 5 to 2 to 3 to 60, which is an AWESOME fun road to ride with lots of corners and sharp turns...
Then I detoured off a dirt road that said minimum maintenance.....
That's when I came up on the truth of why the road was closed. Because its under roughly 12" of water that is CRUISING fast downstream. Well... crap. Now I am on the narrow crappy gravel road in the middle of no where on a bike that's nearly 9' long and have to turn around on an 8' wide (at best) gravel road. Managed to get it turned around and rode back out. I was looking forward to that adventure.. the road looked super curvy on the map!!!!
I had a ton of friends riding out along the MN WI border.. its such a NICE day and us MN's are READY for riding!
Hard to find people between stops when you can text call, then hop back on the bikes, meanwhile the other person is stopping to call... anyways..
turns out it was a great day of riding and that turned into a great night with new friends...
and I should have been home by, I don't know... nightfall? THat would have been nice. But, my fun-finder out numbered my adulating cares and I did nothing adulating for the week. "Tomorrow" I tell myself......
Riding will ALWAYS win..... It truly is my happy place!
