Second ride of the season!

Today I got off work early and wanted to see some new scenery. I rode up to the U of M campus across the river and back down to Minnehaha park. Great ride, all paved trails.

I have a new way of tracking my rides. MapMyRide.com. I will add maps as I go. This is going to be the best biking year yet.

Location: St Paul/Minneapolis

Time: 1 hr 20 min.

Distance: about 15 mil.

Temp: 70F.

First ride of the season!!

This is my attempt at blogging my bike rides this year. I want some way to track myself and keep myself on track. I have many goals this year, but I am not ready to put them down on paper. I live in Minnesota, so I only have about 6-7 months of good outdoor riding. Wish me luck!

I am planning some organized rides throughout the summer and I will be posting my progress. The first is the Minnesota Ironman ride in Lakeville on April 25th.

Well today was the first ride of the season for me. I went to Elm Creek Park Reserve and rode about 15 miles. Wow, my legs felt it, my lungs felt it, my bottom even felt it. The first few rides of the season are always the most painful.

Above is a map of Elm Creek, its the best!!
