I just got into cycling this year and one of my goals is to visit touristy areas where I live, preferrably before the summer crowds arrive. At least once a week I try to go out and ride somewhere new, like yesterday I found a bike path that connects to another path that ends at a mall and merges with street traffic. More importantly though, this route also leads to the local Performance bike shop. Why drive or take the bus when I can enjoy a nice 25 mile ride (round trip).
