Finally some nice weather. Kay and I have been waiting for this all winter. We had a great day. We started with a nice 25 mile ride in the morning. We rode part of the bike trail and then headed off through the city. We rode though downtown and headed west on 10
Th street. The traffic was pretty heavy. When we got to Grange we headed south and road over to Sanford
Hospital. We actually rode on the west side of the new
childrens hospital and I am still amazed at the building. What a wonderful concept. It might just make going to the hospital a little less scary for the kids. Our next stop was at the new
Augustana College stadium they are building. Wow it is something. It is huge and the design is breathtaking. Way to go Augie. We then headed south on Lake and as we rode by one of the homes I grew up in I notice that an old neighbor, John Miller, was sitting outside enjoying the son with his little dog in his lap. I had to stop and say hi. John lives alone an
d is 80, but looks like he is doing pretty well. Then it was off south until we arrived at our car which was parked at
Yankton Trails. It was a great morning for a ride. Cool, not much wind and the traffic on the trail at least was light, but as is the case with most good things we had to stop and head for home. There was a lawn calling my name. Later in the day I decided I had not had enough so I called our friends Bruce and Nancy to see if they were up for a ride. I figured another 20 would be good. So we met about 5:30PM and headed down the bike trail
with Falls Park and the
Cinco de Mayo celebration as our destination. We arrived at the park and I must say I really was expecting more people. There was a band, like 16 musicians, some food and beverage vendors and that was about it. So we hung around for a bit just to see what was happening and watch the people. It is always fun to be a people watcher. We decided it was time to head back so we hit the trail and headed south. We made a couple more stops along the way, but before long we were back at
Sertoma Park where we had started out from. What was next? Pizza....well deserved pizza. What a great way to start the summer.
