Another fun ride with the boys from Hiawatha. It was a balmy 16 degrees when I headed out from the house at 7:15am, and it didn't get much warmer. We managed to accidentally ride through the Lifetime Reindeer Run at Lake Harriet this morning. People say I'm nuts for riding my bike in the winter, yet nobody seems to have any issues with these idiot joggers running through 3 feet of snow. What gives?
I don't have any clear idea of where we were most of the morning, so I guesstimated a route that's probably more conservative than what we took, what with the indecision at the beginning of the ride. We ended up at Melo-Glaze bakery which doesn't seem to have a web presence, hence they get no linky goodness from me. When we walked in, the only people in the place was another group of cyclists. Who would have thought that on a 16 degree December morning two different groups of cyclists would have a random meeting at a doughnut shop? That's Minneapolis for you. Melo-Glaze's coffee was less than stellar, but the glazed doughnuts were good. I can still feel them sitting in my gut at quarter to five, and that's the sign of a good doughnut.

Were Rob, Just Bob, and Dr Fucking Bob there??? I like this ride and will be there every weekend I'm in Minneapolis.
Nope, no Bobs, Robs, Roberts or Robertos. Too cold, I guess. ;)
The Robs/Bobs have been absent for a couple weeks now. We (Ray) must've offended them, I guess.
A shot from Rivendell Boy! Reading a bike blog, huh? Isn't there some type of right wing stuff you should be reading?
