Fun and Busy Weekend

Memorial weekend and we finally got some nice weather here in northern Minnesota! It is kinda sad how 65 degrees is considered "hot" up here this time of year.

So Saturday I was up early for a 6am MRI downtown at the hospital. I am still trying to get to the bottom of the knee pain so this was the next step. Then I ate my bagel on the way to play golf. Walked 6 miles of hills playing golf with friends, and had a light lunch after. I had packed my bike and my stuff in my car so after golf I changed clothes and drove my bike to the starting point on Scenic Hwy 61. From there I road to the Mocha Moose Cafe and back, which is about 30 miles round trip.


I did this same ride a year ago. Today however it was windy. So I had a quartering tailwind on the way out and the opposite headwind on the way back.

Still getting used to the tri bike. I was having a hard time keeping my line with all the wind gusts. I have the clip pedals on the tri bike for riding outside. The left knee was bugging me most of the ride today, just had to fight through it.

It was a fun ride. Then for more "fun" I decided to add a short 10 minute run off the bike for my first "brick" of the season. That went well too.

The rest of the weekend was more golf, and a bunch of yard work (mowing, tilling the garden etc) and of course there were burgers and brats!
