Tour de Minneapolis

Not only was last Saturday one of the hottest and most humid on record in Minneapolis, but it also happened to be the day that we were scheduled to celebrate a friend's birthday ... outside!  You can already hear Kyle getting grouchy, right?!

We joined our good friends, Adam and Danielle, for Adam's birthday celebration on the Pedal Pub in Northeast Minneapolis.  It's a 12-person bike that you can drink beers on while you pedal around town.  It came with an approved DD, a cooler of beers and speakers for some iTunes ... can't complain.




We worked up quite the sweat but got a little breeze going and beat the heat ... well, at least put up a good fight.  Kyle was sweating the most because I think he was pedaling hard enough for the rest of us.  Seriously, I kicked up my feet on occasion because I couldn't even get any resistance on my pedals.  Thanks, honey.




It turned out to be a wonderful night - a very unique way to tour Minneapolis ... some great dive bars to cool off in the AC ... and dinner on a patio along the river to finish out the night.  Here's the whole crew, most of whom we were meeting for the first time that night (the birthday boy is in the center with the light blue polo and his wife is just in front of me.)




 We won't be entering any bike races anytime soon, but I'm sure Lance would have been proud!
