This past week found Linda and I celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by participating in the Tour de Brew bicycle ride. This is a ride that helped raise money for Bike Walk KC, an organization that promotes and lobbies for healthy living in the Kansas City area. The tour travels along a route connecting historic Kansas City breweries; most of the buildings are now gone and some are still there, but in the form of loft apartments.
We met with neighborhood friends and did the 30-mile ride. We averaged about 12mph and finished in just over 2.5 hours. We had a great time and enjoyed the food and beverages after the ride.
