Today was Ride the Drive day in Madison: the city closes John Nolen Drive and several of the other main downtown streets to cars and invites bicycles to ride the 6 mile loop. My family hasn’t missed one yet, and our 6-year streak of good weather continued.
One of the regular roadside attractions is the mobile climbing wall from Boulders Climbing Gym. I have a healthy fear of heights (err, perhaps irrational is a better word) so I had never tried it before. But I did today and I made it to the top. My hands were shaking for minutes afterward. Due to the exertion. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
Nice. I biked a ton in Madison and now my town has a similar event: http://brooklinebikes.org
Was this the one where they wear clothes.
Nate Schmolze Ha, yes. Everyone I saw there was wearing clothes, including me.
