Annandale Minnesota















Sugar Lake, Annandale MN - the sun came out!






















It rained the entire ride up but just went gray by the time we arrived. It didn't take long and the sun came out and was the start to a perfect weekend at the lake.

The Dunn to Dunn ride


It was grey and spitting out some rain. Tom was hesitant but once Alan arrived we determined we had to ride.
So off our group of 5 left from the Dunn Brothers in Loring Park and headed west and took our break at the Dunn Brothers off Vicksburg in Plymouth.
The rain waited until we were back to Minneapolis and well on our way home.

Memorial Day 2010 - the weather has never been better













Wow did we have a great weekend. I often think of Memorial Weekend as cold, windy and rainy. None of that it was absolutely fabulous weather. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
That gave us the opportunity to get a couple good rides in, some BBQing and all sorts of other outdoor events and projects in the yard.
And the rain waited until Tuesday - you couldn't ask for more.
And it appears no thrones - no Carly!

One more oddity as part of this unusual spring...Carly came biking in May...






We have been lucky this season getting out for early rides and having very agreeable weather to do it.
And Saturday was another great day for May - 57, cloudy, humidity rising and reasonable winds.
Carly has made it clear she won't show until the temperature hits her age - to date it is usually 75 or 80 when she makes an appearance. We may have to rethink things...she arrived on Saturday.
Good ride and Carly's prayers must have finally worked. They were not forecasting rain but 10 minutes after everyone got in their cars and were off we had lightning, thunder and a boatload of water. Our timing couldn't have been perfect.
And almost 90 and a scorcher today...hopefully not a summer of that ahead.
