about 70 degrees and a bit windy, I took the nerd bike out for a ride with Susan around the lake, my longest ride so far, about 15 miles or so. Took about 2 hours, and I was rewarded with my first visit to the new RP's Pasta restaurant. RP's is national now (you can probably find their fresh pasta at Whole Foods if you have one nearby), but it is based in Madison, and we are lucky enough to get it served at a no-frills cafe just outside the doors to the kitchen. We had the specials -- spinach-fennel gnocchi with clam sauce for me, vegetarian lasagna for Susan. Awesome!
Last night, we visited a few local businesses participating the the Gallery Walk, a regular event at which art is displayed by businesses which often also provide music, appetizers, and drinks.
Tonight, going to see Cyndi Lauper (yes, that one) at the Orpheum . Haven't been to this venue yet, but this will be the first of 2 trips this week -- seeing Ani DiFranco there on Thursday.
Tomorrow, we may go out for an "Open Art Studios" stroll, to check out the studios of local artists participating in that annual event.
Who needs to go to the gym with all this running around?!
