Funny Flamingos

Chatfield Loop: 44.63 miles
TANDEM Pedal Time: 3 hours 36 minutes, average speed 12.3

We finally had a day to bike with no worries. We journeyed along the country roads towards Chatfield where we stopped for a DQ treat. The temperature was in the 80’s and the skies were blue throughout our ride.

Along our route near Eyota, we spotted a pond and as we got closer, noticed flamingos on its edge. In my excitement, I halted the bike and quietly inched towards the pond to get a photo before they could run away and as I got closer, was disappointed to learn a joke was played on me—the birds were not real! Someone had quite a sense of humor. We had a hearty laugh and then continued on our journey towards home—a delightful little voyage.
