I have had similar experiences in Minneapolis, on West River Road. However, when I get to this point ^^^, I find a new route. You were in no place to ride hard, not with an event going on. You wanted a quiet road, but this was not a quiet road, it was very busy.
I have used the path along West River Road during the Twin Cities Marathon, but it was a slow cruiser ride to lunch. I will say, I loved the placement of pot-o-johns next to the bike path, with door opening onto the bike path.... Whole new kind of door prize.
I'm glad to see you decided to pay your fine and move on.
