What are your plans for summer? This is a good question to ask middle schoolers. You can’t ask too early or they might not stop thinking about summer. But honestly, after spring break many people at a school can’t help but think about it! And we spend a lot of time planning for next school year too.

This summer I am working part time at summer school with Community Education. I will be teaching a bike class which hopefully means a fun summer on the bike! We will do some basic bike maintenance,  riding skills, visit a bike shop or two, weekly rides, a service project, and maybe some type of advocacy project. It’d be great to pair up with Open Streets but none of them work for our timing.

We are sneaking away for at lesst one camping trip up North and maybe one at a near by park that I can slip unto town for work and back out.

I don’t have any races on the calendar except for the Minnesota Half on August 2 and the Powderhorn 24 on August 15-16.
