Doug and Susan were in town for a wedding and they were kind enough to let us know they were coming. We met them Sunday at REI where I got a personal tutorial on winter riding clothes. Following that, we dodged traffic and construction on our way to Cafe Agri for lunch.
Afterwards, though the skies looked threatening, we decided to take our chances and ride one of the best loops of the Twin Cities; we left our house in South Minneapolis to Minnehaha Parkway to the Falls, up the West River Parkway to the Greenway and followed that to the Lakes and around back home. A really pleasant 18 or so miles.
We added a dash of culture to the evening with a trip to the Cedar Cultural Center (one stop shop for all your cultural needs) and listened to a show of a collection of guitarists -- some really quite good and some, uh, less so. But live music is always interesting and we heard some good songs.
Good company, good food, good music and a lovely ride -- no better way to spend a day...

Podium!
Odd, on his visits, Doug doesn't consult me about where to be exposed to culture.
Hey. Weird! I happened to see your bike on Doug's blog. I was at the table of Big Dummy owners who parked next to you at Town Hall last week. Apparently the internet is a pretty small place. Anyway, just thought I'd say hi.
