WBG Java Crow Express - June 23, 2018


A beautiful sunny day here in Minnesota. There was not enough riders for the WBG Java Jive but Edward did the route anyhow. Richard, Jim, and Edward did the WBG Java Crow Express and Edward went on to do the TCBC Cruizn the Crow Dakota Style. Richard went on to Excelsior and Jim rode straight back. We had a nice surprise with Marc showing up in Wayzata. He is on injured reserve with a heel spur that has been bothering him. Great to see Marc as he has been off for a month.

Temperature average of 23C with wind out of the SW at 7 KPH. Humidity at 50% and dew-point at 14C.

Pictured from left to right are Edward, Marc, and Richard. Edward and Richard are wearing the new TCBC 25th Anniversary jersey. The Wayzata Art Fair is going on in the background. Jim took the photograph, as usual.

WBG Java Crow Express - June 9, 2018


A rainy day but we thought we could at least get in the WBG Java Crow Express without getting wet. The WBG Java Jive was cancelled because it was raining at 07:00 but had cleared by 08:30. The forecast was wrong as it was raining when we got to Wayzata. Cruzin' The Crow was cancelled.

Richard, Mark, and Jim went on to Excelsior and Edward went back in with the Greg, Steve, and their group. Unfortunately Edward had some frame damage after going through a bumpy part of the road going back to downtown Minneapolis.

Temperature average of 18C with wind out of the E at 15 KPH. Humidity at 77% and dew-point at 17C.

Pictured from right to left are Edward, Richard, and Mark. Jim took the picture.
