What a great day yesterday was for a bike ride! There was four of us that went to Charles City on the back roads from New Hampton. The round trip is around 40 miles, but there was a very small amount of wind and overcast – so not only the ride was good but the dinner with a couple of beers and friends by the river was also good! When we were in Charles City we rode to see the Riverfront that just opened. I did some research on it and found out that the changes to the river was done to add on a rodeo hole/wave for kayakers. There are three of these spots on the river below the dam that the kayakers can use. It’s the only one in Iowa that has been built. We also saw people on inner tubes going down the rapids also. It sure looked fun!

After the bike ride we came home and just hung out for awhile before we headed down to a neighbor for some good food and good times. They bought over $1000 worth of fireworks and what a display they put on! It was a great way to end the day.
