Today was a beautiful and fun day. It started at 8:20 am. Temperature was a cool 52 F, winds 10 mph from the north. The start of the bike path:

I stopped and picked up a friend on the way to church. After church, we were going to go kayaking but ran into friends and family heading off to the "Ride the Drive", where some major downtown streets are closed to cars. This is the first ever in Madison. So we joined them to check it out. It was great fun, with booths and music and food in addition to people and bikes and pedestrians and kites and costumes. Here are some views on E. Washington:

Then we went kayaking. We hand-towed the kayaks to the lake using two-wheeled trailors so that qualifies to be allowed on a biking blog:

It was fun. Then I bike home about 4:30 pm. Temperature was up to 65 F, winds 10 mph from the north.
