The snow has finally melted! Today was the first ride of the 2019 season. Beautiful weather to get out on the Yeti. I went riding with Matt Desmond along my usual route along the Mississippi River.

Nice day at the Minnesota State Fair. Fair food checklist: I ate a corndog, popcorn, french fries, corn on the cob, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, Coke, Mountain Dew, cotton candy, and I think that’s it. I missed the mini donuts. Next year!
