Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

From the look of the shrubs with leaves and other green vegetation my guess it might not be Minnesota. $4.00 a gallon gas sucks.

way to go.

on the phone, no helmets, no grips on the bars (those open ends take nice chunks out of your tummy if your lucky enough to get it to connect that high rather than a bit lower), flip flops and little one has an open drink.

I was laughing when I posted that. Good times. Still though, I thought the picture of one solution (however partial and imperfect it may be, of course) naturally imposed over the problem was interesting.

By the way, I dropped that poseur.

Pelican lake is all most ice free at Breezy Point. The Governor will actually be able to fish from a boat for the state fishing opener this weekend.
