Stealing a Ride

Had to travel to Peoria this week for work. Since the weather looked nice for the week, I put my "traveling bike" on the back of the rental. On the way I realized I could ride some of the Hennepin Canal Path if I took a slightly different way to Peoria. So, temps in the high 60's, nice blue skies, only a slight breeze and a nice 20 mile ride. Gotta love it.

That looks like a nice ride. Of course, certain A&S folks have no use for Class I facilities.

I didn't start riding until I retired, and to think I use to live a few miles from there. It looks like a nice place to ride. Glad you had a good time.
