We visited the Des Moines Farmer's Market on Court Ave. today for the first time. Interesting to see how much bigger it is compared to some of the Farmer's Markets we used to go to in DC. We enjoyed some crepes for a pre-lunch snack on the street, and then found our way into the Hessen Haus, a German "bier" hall, for an authentic German lunch of stuffed beef rolls and goulash. I could have used my Grandma Lehs' help in translating some of the menu items though, especially from the beer menu! Perhaps someday we'll go back and share a boot of beer, though are a number of rules that have to be followed.
We brought our bikes down with us as well, and after lunch we rode from where we had parked downtown over to the Botanical Center, and then from there up to the Saylorville Lake visitor's center on the Neal Smith trail and back. We totaled nearly 27 miles with just a few breaks and one gigantic hill near the end, and our RAGBRAI training continues.
