Thank you, generous cashier at Au Bon Pain (Capella Tower) for providing me with two plastic bags with which to cover my beloved sneakers. The skies opened up on Wednesday right as I prepared to ride the bike home, and I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good pair of Adidas. I promise I will patronize your skyway level pastries and/or coffee soon.
Twin Cities Bike Walk Week came and went (June 4-12) without much fanfare here. After two years of setting up a work team, I've learned that most people in public accounting aren't interested in these kinds of activities, so I didn't even bother signing us up. I did participate in Bike-Walk Day (Thursday the 9th) but arrived somewhat late so most of the excitement had faded by that time.
If anyone hasn't heard of the Nature Valley Grand Prix, it's a great freebie spectator event to take in. I made it to the Crit races in both St. Paul and Minneapolis this year and enjoyed every second of it. You can check out some video highlights at the website, and here are a few teaser pics from St. Paul and Uptown, respectively:
Watching this race almost makes me want to drop a few grand on a high end racing bike, some tight fitting expensive clothes, and some clipless pedals. Almost.
