I took the day off, and Robin and I went for a ride in perfect weather. She's been spinning over the winter months, and it showed. Did creek - river - downtown - Hopkins - lakes - creek.
Intended to run near Lake Mendota, but got a late start and decided to find something by my hotel. How about that paved trail right out the back door? Happily it followed Pheasant Branch Creek, winding through Middleton, and then making a big loop around a wetland. The sun set not long after my start and I was a little concerned about finding my way back, but it worked out fine.
