All I saw . . .

For the final 30 miles of a 100+ mile ride

all I saw was:

A BIG THANKS TO JIM MURRAY from ST LOUIS for haulin' my sorry butt home

I owe you big time man . . . 

Chickens

Yup . . . Saturday I did indeed make the informed 

decision to ride to Hinckley before the Ironman.

I managed to make it to the Buffalo House before the deluge began.

Imagine my surprise, when I arrived Carleton to find several 

hundred people milling about.

Turns out, it was the annual "Chicken Swap"

Not only do they swap chickens, but they apparently barter bunnies

These chicken swappers thought it very odd that I was ridin' my bike 

100 miles in the rain (I must point out; it was not raining when it was hailing)

Of course when I pointed out that they were standing around

tradin' chickens in the rain . . .  (enough said)
