Headed for Saturday morning roller ski workout. Ride was rudely interrupted by a flat under the 35E bridge on Phalen Blvd. Fortunately, I had everything to fix it. Figuring out how to use the little CO2 cartridge pump was the most difficult. 15 minutes later, I was back in the saddle, only 10 minutes late for practice. But forgot to turn GPS watch back on.

Stopped by Joel's place, where I had forgotten my swim bag yesterday. Then I made my way around Hmong Fest on McMurray Fields. Went to Snelling to avoid the crowds and traffic along Lexington.

A cool, bright morning, donned my reflective vest to get a little protection from cold, hard to find a day in summer when temps drop to 11 °C. Super quiet everywhere, people must be on their way out of town for the long weekend.

Hit about every light in the DT area, leaving work early has its negatives. The lights have not been changed to accommodate drivers who are leaving the city. But what are three minutes when you're leaving 1:30 hrs before normal on a beautiful afternoon?
F:M jogging ratio: 3F-5M this morning, 1F-2M this PM.

As I was getting ready to shut off my PC this morning, I heard some rumbling. Checked the radar and yes, there was a very localized blob of weather over Minneapolis, coming in our direction. I finished preparing for the day, packing lunch, wrapping my clothes in a plastic liner as the first raindrops fell. Decided to make a break for the light rail but when I entered the garage, the rain really let lose. So I headed back in and after checking the weather map one more time, decided to wait the rain out. It lasted only about 10 minutes but was hefty enough to refill the rain barrels. Rode the bike to work with not much more than road spray to contend with. I did have a minor spill when my front wheel slipped from under me at Glenwood and N 10th St, turning sharply onto the sidewalk ramp. Nothing hurt but my pride ...

Quiet ride home, many people must be already out of town. Partial cloud cover with blue sky and sun in between. At one point a smallish cloud dispensed a few heavy rain drops, just of few of them hit me. Odd.

I survived the dentist, who happens to be my friend Chuck. I think I should get a discount for not twitching, wining, asking for laughing gas or biting neither dentist nor his assistant. Always struck that the route via Como Ave (incl. the detour around DT) is shorter than my regular route.

Another cool morning, very pleasant ride in. During the summer months, the tunnels I ride through are a reprieve from the heat, today and yesterday, they contained some welcome warmth. Very calm compared to the last few days.

Strong headwind made me opt for the more protected route through South St. Anthony. Even so it was a slog. looking forward to the tailwind this afternoon! M-F jogger ratio: F:2-M:5

Nice ski on this cooler (relatively speaking), less humid and breezy morning. John could make it but we saw him as we were leaving.
