Happy birthday Dennis! What a beautiful day for this ride north of the Twin Cities. We chose to bike a modified Tour de Tonka route. We would not be able to bike the official ride day in August so decided to route our own version of the ride using maps posted on the ride’s web site. We parked the van at the Minnetonka High School and began pedaling towards town for an Arby’s lunch and then set off along the route towards Wayzata—a beautiful little town surrounded by lakes.



We took a combination of bike trails and roads to get us to Mound, MN, the town where Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) was born. We then turned back towards Wayzata to stop at Ben & Jerry’s for a much needed ice cream treat. The temperature was rising into the 90’s and the sun was getting to us both. After our snack, we continued on our way back towards Minnetonka. The route was beautiful and we enjoyed biking around the many lakes. Flags were proudly displayed throughout today’s route as a reminder of the freedoms we have as citizens of this beautiful country. Happy 4^th of July!
