First Ride of 2008: Minneapolis Biking with Bob Pacieznik

FIRST Bike Ride of 2008  Minneapolis ranks as one of the top biking cities in the US.  Come along with Bob Pacieznik on his first ride of 2008.  Traveling from his home in Edina, we ride up to the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, then get on the Midtown Greeway which takes us to the Mississippi River.  Heading down to the Minnehaha Falls we then follow the Minnehaha Creek back home.

Watch the video and enjoy the ride!

Peddlers and Solicitors Prohibited

It's spring-time and guess what's taking advantage of the nice weather?
1. the birds
2. the kids
3. us doing yardwork
4. us playing outside
5. PEDDLERS & SOLICITORS!!!
How many times have you been home and someone came up to your front door to sell you something? Boy, it's one thing for a telemarketer to call you at home...with caller id and the National Do Not Call list...we can do a pretty good job of avoiding them...but door to door peddling and solicitation. That hits a little too close to home...like right at our front door!
Well in Edina we've got a few rules governing door to door peddling & solicitation...and one of the best rules is that..."You may not solicit at any residence that displays a placard at the primary entrance to their home, stating “Peddlers and Solicitors Prohibited.”

So put up your sticker today...a keep the peddler and solicitors away!

Dangerous: Ice Not Safe!

ICE OUT...Minneapolis means 'city of lakes' and springtime means ice-out. The definition of ice out varies but to those of us who've just come out of 5 months of winter, ice out means swimming, boating and summer are just around the corner. Join Annie and Bob Pacieznik as they take a walk around two of the Minneapolis' Chain of Lakes...Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun and record the sights and sounds of ice-out.

Spring-time snowball fight!

First days of spring...what to do? Mow the lawn? Wash the car? Work the garden? How about build a snow fort and have a snowball fight! Wow...we haven't seen this much snow in a long while. Even though we've got a touch of cabin fever like everyone else, we wouldn't pass up enjoying the snow. We made a huge fort using the recycle bin...the snow was light and fluffy, but stuck together to make some great blocks and snow balls.

Hope all of you had a great holiday weekend!

Here are some photos of the bridges that you cross during the run...




(above left) This bridge crosses Hwy 62...the north end of the bridge is near the end of Wooddale Ave... (right) and the south end of the bridge takes you to the Lake Cornelia Park


(above left) heading west on 66th Street we cross Hwy 100. (right) as we meander through the neighborhood north of Normandale Park we get to the Wyman Ave bridge



(above left)As we head north and need to cross Hwy 100 once again, we can pick one of three bridges for our run...to shorten up the run we can cross at Benton Ave or (right) there are 2 pedestrian bridges further north...




(above left and right) the pedestrian bridges are kind of cool...the spiral ramp must be fun on a bike!

This is our Bridges of Edina run...a great way to get from neighborhood to neighborhood...if you have any other great runs that you'd like us to share drop us a line and we'll add it to our mapmyrun routes..
