Pedal & Paddle: 38.11 miles
TANDEM: Ride Time was 2 hours 54 minutes, average speed: 13.1
The weather forecast looked good for biking today so we called our biking buddies, Alan & Michelle, to see if they wanted to join us on the Root River Trail. We met up in Lanesboro at 10:30 a.m. and biked towards Rushford. Lunch at The Creamery was a good choice. Alan & Michelle were on a tight schedule and needed to be off the bike by 3:00 so following lunch we all biked back to Lanesboro. The temperature reached into the 90s by ride’s end which led us to agree that a 38-mile day on the bike was just fine.
Following our bike ride on the Root, we decided to add a paddle adventure to the day—our first duathlon. We carted the kayak to Chester Woods for a trip around Chester Lake. We noticed a big improvement from our first attempts at synchronized paddling and the boat just glided along the water. When the legs can no longer spin for the day, the kayak will allows us to continue to play.
