Rosedale Ride

The 18th annual Rosedale Ride was Saturday. This ride benefits the local special needs school. I've only riden it one other time, 2010, it has a reputation for being very windy.

Since many of the ABCxer's signed up, I did, too. Weather.com had predicted a sunny windfree day. For the most part it was windfree, but the sun didn't make an appearance until after the ride.



All the turns were staffed by teachers who were dressed up, costumes ranged from Hot Dogs to the Desparate Housewifes. Each turn made me smile.

43 miles on the bike, not bad considering the most I've riden has been 28. Next weekend with the Spokes & Spurs will be the test--hills.

Most of us: Kellie, Nancy, Joy, Leslie 7 i rode the 43, Kristen & Victor rode 60!

Willow City Loop

The wild flowers are out, the wild flowers ae out!


So, KPT, Victor & I went to Willow City to check them out.


La Victoria for breakfast, then off the WCLoop. Windy & cloudy day, but the flowers were out so all was good. They were so pretty and the fragrance was incredible.


After our ride, which I'm proud to say I made it up the hill without stopping (last time I stopped 2-3 times) we went to the "Knot in the Loop" for beers & burgers.
