The continuation of our mild winter means that an outdoor ride is nearly mandatory when both the weather and the weekend align. I dug the New Steed out from the basement, dusted it off, and put on some outdoor miles.
A brief stint of warm weather in mid-December was a true calling for an outdoor ride. It felt good to breath some outside air while turning the pedals, even if my conditioning leaves something to be desired.
The opening to the deer hunting season in Minnesota is a great opportunity for the Jenum family to share in some long-felt traditions, while hoping to make new memories that can be retold for years to come.
A great Sunday afternoon for a bike ride - although I continue to be tormented by my missing iPod. Getting James Taylor songs stuck in your head does NOT provide good motivation for pedaling hard.
The sun was shining - presenting a great Saturday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed some time at Starbuck's park and witnessed lots of smiles across all the kids' faces.
