Hiking 1:22:43 [1] 6.2 km (13:20 / km) +4m 13:18 / km
ahr:94 max:112

The lake was calm this morning, no waves. Also wore wellingtons. Made for easier walking on firm sand. Fisherman bringing his Hobie Pro Angler kayak to water, asked him about it and told him about my Island Adventure tandem. He beamed, his was brand new. On the way back, we took the RR grade along Hwy 13. At the overflow parking for Friendly Valley Beach, I noticed an apple tree. Picked as much as I could fit in the pockets of my parka. Ate one, not bad at all, and surprisingly, no worms.

ahr:130 max:159 shoes: Gravity 19.5" 29er MTB

Joined Craig for some mountain biking. He passed me in his van an Hwy 13, arrived at trailhead about 5 minutes later. Fun time on the trails, we had to give up on Dirt Lip, Craig's old Trek touring bike just wasn't built for an intermediate trail. I was impressed how he could manage most climbs and obstacles on the other trails! After leaving him at the lot, I climbed back up and exited the trails via the Whiting Rd. trailhead. I came passed a guy who was doing trail maintenance, stopped for a chat. He was adding clay to the sand in a banked turn to firm it up. Another great morning to be out!

Did the usual rounds of Mt. Ashwabay, RR grade-Kjarvik-Smith Fire Lane-Jammer Hill-Whiting-Deer Path-Sugarbush-Seagull and then a variety of CAMBA single track trails. Very fun. Made it home before it started raining in earnest.

Tried to get the pooches out befor the rain started. Of course it started within 10 mminutes of having left. Fortunately, we had a reprieve, it was just a short shower. Dogs had fun, I salvaged a nice 2x6. Good walk!

Felt not so hot while walking to the bike parking. It's amazing how a little ride with a good tailwind raises ones spirits!

Instead of usual walk with pooches, went to pick up battery charger at Napa Auto parts. Lynn's car battery turned up empty after boys used the van. I just bought it within the last two years, I can't imagine it's shot already ...

Not as mild as yesterday, but still no reason to wear gloves. Got an early start because I dropped son James at airport with one way ticket to NYC. He is visiting friends and is planning to make his way back using Greyhound. Finally one of me boys is taking after the old man!

Needed to stop at the USPS Concordia station to pick up a parcel that needed signature. Good reason to take the Midtown Greenway on this beautiful fall afternoon. Just gorgeous out, happy to be on a bike!

Pole Hiking Battle Creek West
6:27 PM; Battle Creek West, St. Paul

17.2 °C; Clear
Convalescing from my hip joint sprain and not doing any high intensity workouts. Did a pole hike with my dogs instead of hill bounding with my friends. Followed many single track trails, went up Battle Creek trail and had all in all a great experience. Hip joint a little sore, but in a good way. Beautiful, warm fall evening, quite unseasonable. Cold spot was the battle Creek valley. Super dry, there's dust in the air everywhere and the dirt is like powder. I noticed that a door in the basement that always sticks, except in the deepest winter when the humidity is super low is opening freely. A little worrisome ...

I thought I was done with warm-weather riding. I guess I was wrong. Short sleeves, no gloves and not cold. Even breaking a sweat. Nice ride but more bikers out than I'm used to at this early hour, including a sport rider on the transit way. Kept up with him and increased my AHR by a little. Stopped at a barber's in the skyway, Saved me probably a good 45 minutes of driving and waiting. One of the perks of being downtown.

Wow, another summer day! Pushed it a little on the way home, lots of slow-downs because of crossing cars, bikes and pedestrians. Just a lovely afternoon! After Snelling was constricted for the past few weeks, they closed the Como to Snelling Southbound ramp. Don't mind this at all, but the drivers may think differently.

Energy Park Short Hike
4:51 PM; Hamline Midway/Frogtown

21.6 °C; Partly cloudy
Ok, this wasn't exactly the most strenuous of my rounds. Both Lynn and eldest son Colin came along. There was much talking, stopping for picture and slow stepping on my part. The French have a good word for this, flâner, in English to saunter. The accent circonflexe draws that a out much better than the au in saunter, but my heart rate barely made it out of resting status. Whilst off leash, the dogs threatened to abandon us several times because things just weren't moving. They sure had a decent workout going back and forth. I did not but it was certainly not a good walk spoiled.

Coffee beans at Dunn Bros, bread at Breadsmith and chocolate at Aldi. Also rode by younger son James' new home. He moved out as Colin is between places and is temporarily staying with us. I should really say his stuff is staying in our garage ...
