Between yard work, family gatherings, and being busy at work, there hasn't been much time for riding this week. But I've been looking at maps and planning a fun ride for the near future... a bike path metric. The Minneapolis/St. Paul area has an extensive network of bike paths and I've always wanted to connect them on a nice long ride. Ultimately I'd like to create a true century (100 mile) route that is entirely on the local bike paths, but I'll start with a metric (100 km).
I might even throw in some easy dirt/gravel trail, but that'll depend on the river levels.
I'm looking forward to trying this route. It should make for a nice ride with a good mix of urban and natural sights along the way...

that last pic is nice,
enjoying a pint beside a waterfall!
Thanks CK, that'll be the last stop on my ride. Minnehaha Falls Park has a small seafood restaurant that always has at least 1 or 2 really good beers on tap.
Sea Salt Eatery?? Have yet to try it:(
Yup, Sea Salt. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the neighborhood. A fried fish sandwich and a Surly beer is pretty tough to beat...
