Mason Neck hiking

Anuradha Uduwage — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:40:59 +0000

So we decided to explore little beyond Alexandria and the old town. Hike in Mason Neck park. Trails were not long at least the once we took, and Niva was complaining most of the time saying (in exact her words “This ins not a hike, hiking should include hills”) I was happily clicking away my Cannon and capturing the beauty of the women next to me and the beauty of the mother nature.

Warm November

Anuradha Uduwage — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:02:24 +0000

Blame it on global warming but I ll take this warm weather we are having in any given day. As we all know, when it comes November, Minneapolis is not known for warm, sunny weather. Normally by this time we get ready to bundle up before getting out from house. Also, its not unusual to see couple of inches of snow on the ground. But, its almost mid November, and I still can drive my car with windows rolled down. Simply unbelievable. So far we had July weather in June, June weather in July, October weather in November and November weather in October.

We have so confused mother nature and she can’t figure out which month should get its respective weather. Hopefully she will stay in this state of mind till next spring.

Rider’s Log: Day after 75 Mile ride.

Anuradha Uduwage — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:13:17 +0000

Surprisingly I felt very good on Sunday morning no pain in my legs, more that my legs it was my ass which was hurting after sitting just over 5 hours on the saddle. Evening I went for a short 25mile ride just to stretch out the legs as well as to get the lactic acid that was build up. During the 25mile ride I felt like I was riding some crazy mountain, i think it was my lactic acid.

Sri Lanka’s second flyover is going to be in my suburb

Anuradha Uduwage — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Dehiwala is coastal town geographically somewhat similar to San Fran and highly populated, highly developed suburb in Colombo District. Recently there have been major additions to Dehiwala skyline such as five start rated apartment complexes. Galle is an internationally famous town in Sri Lanka and Dehiwala is a major town that connect South and Colombo. During Tsunami Dehiwala Coastal area got effected but fortunately it was minimal. There are thousands of major bus lines cross Dehiwala junction in daily basis and not only that if you are traveling from South to Colombo or Colombo to any part of the South you have to pass Dehiwala.

In the map below, follow the Hill Street towards to your left, and you will see how breath taking it is…

If you haven’t been to Heritance Ahungalla, you should try sometime. Specially if you are thinking a quick getaway from Colombo… enough of that… we had a awesome time at Heritance. Played some good tap rugby and had some few drink while enjoying the nice cool breeze of the coast. It was simply fantastic, more than anything hanging out with my buddies Nana, Ranidu & Kumi, Kani… was priceless….

Last Day in Duluth

Anuradha Uduwage — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 09:03:23 +0000

I am sure I am going to miss Duluth, I survived hash cold winters while enjoying few snow storms we had in past years especially the one which was in March. I absolutely cherished the summer, there is nothing like Duluth summer. Combination of the beautiful yet cold lake superior and the warm, hot but comfortable weather makes you feel like you are floating under zero gravity environment. But starting from tomorrow all that is past, I will be a city boy again.
