This post will not say anything about the law, or the legal business, need to take a break from that once in a while.

Last Saturday, the Tour of Lakes, bike ride was run here in Brainerd. It is one of hundreds of amateur sporting events all over the upper Midwest every summer. Our tour is a non-competitive bike ride with rest stops where riders can get food and use bathrooms. The food is great and full course support is offered. If your bike breaks down or you cannot finish for any reason, we will pick you up.

I was the lead organizer this year. I had help from many fellow members of our local bike club, the Paul Bunyan Cyclists. There are many other bike rides like the tour and races where you can really go all out, along with ultra-long-distance events, running races, triathlons, canoe, and kayak events, you name it. Work can be demanding, and we are all busy, but, if at all possible, take some time during our short summers to get out, participate in an event or help out running on. It is a terrific way to have family time. My kids really enjoyed being event helpers.

Have some fun outside, take a break for a few hours from your work, your legal issues, and the demands of life. You will be glad you did.
