Sept 9 2012 Century Ride

Rode from home to the St. Paul Classic (9 miles), then rode the St. Paul Classic (41.5 miles), then took advantage of spectacular weather to extend it to a "century" ride to celebrate (a) Mary's birthday and (b) Dale's recovery from a leg crush injury a year earlier. The route has a few moderately difficult hills, but most of it is flat and much of it is on established bike trails. Some of the busy streets had been blocked off for the Classic, so it was overall pretty mellow.
