A family ride to the zoo and Ivanna Cone.

It was a busy day with the family and this afternoon we took a ride to the zoo to see the new penguins. We even got to visit with John Chapo who said visitors had complained about finding parking and that he thought it was cool that we'd biked. Afterward we went to Ivanna Cone for a treat. We also got to see runners finish the Market To Market Relay. It was a great day for a ride and tomorrow is packed full of tons of biking events in Lincoln. Hope to see you out tomorrow! Today's miles = 14.9

I'm SO disappointed.

This is the stone picnic shelter at the intersection of the Rock Island and Billy Wolff trails on the North side of the zoo.

Their turning it into a storage unit for the parks department. They'll keep tools and such for the Sunken Gardens and Rose Garden in it. It'll save them trips back to the shop when they need something, but that shelter was always a good meeting place for cyclists to meet for group rides.

I rode my loaner Surly Cross Check from Bike Pedalers to work and back today and got 20.0 miles.

Sweet start, bitter end. Ha!

This morning's ride to the office featured a strong tailwind and beautiful sunrise. I made record time and got there in 33 minutes!

I managed to avoid the midday showers. But, the ride home against the wind was SO slow. It took close to an hour on the trip home. The zoo is next to the Billy Wolff trail and now has the animals back from their winter home outside of town. The zoo opens for the season tomorrow! Today's miles = 19.3
