Saint Paul MN - bike, party, party, party weekend

Beautiful weekend so I got two bike rides in.
Also, stopped by and crashed Katy's Bridal shower and finished off Saturday evening at a 130th Birthday Party - a duo party.  And just around the block from me.

Old maps no longer work.......worth pondering

Stillwater MN - Sunny Easter Day

The sun came out by Saturday afternoon and it provided a very nice sunny weekend.
Gathered a reasonable crowd for a fun Easter afternoon - all taking our turns in the sun on the deck and watching the local muskrat population swim around in front of us.
Clemens in from Montreal was also able to join the festivities one more time.

Saint Paul MN - April Showers bring no Saturday ride......

Saint Paul MN - Mary hits 62

After a rainy morning we got a warm and humid sunny afternoon - and then more rain once everyone arrived to celebrate Mary's birthday.
Highlight of the evening was the egg tapping contest - no doubt that event will be back again one day!

White Bear Lake MN - Brigitte joins the 60 club

After a great day we finished off at the VFW on White Bear Lake to celebrate Brigitte's move to the 60 Club.

Saint Paul MN - First group ride of 2017

A bit crisp but it warmed up just fine for our first ride of the season.  Strong spring winds made the return trip a lot more work.
Coffee and great treats a new spot for us in the North Loop of Minneapolis.
A great start.

Tokyo Japan - Cherry Blossoms and Springtime

A perfect weather week in Tokyo.
Prime time for Cherry Blossoms so finding a hotel at a reasonable rate was a challenge when I decided to change my travel plans for this trip. But got in to a new spot - and it worked out just great.
60 - 70 every day - and finally some rain on Thursday night in to Friday.
My trips to Tokyo will be winding down but this was a great one to enjoy near the end.
