Took time to warm up on a chilly bike ride.

Vermillion Falls
On a cycle ride with friends, following the Mississippi, starting south of St. Paul: Vermillion Falls, Vermillion River, Hastings, MN. The flour mill is still operating, but no longer uses water power.
Left-Leaning Cycle Rack
Hitched my bike to a left-leaning rack.
Warm Enough to Cycle
It’s still March, but dry and warm enough for this fair-weather cyclist to hit the trails with a friend. I love the variety of textures at this viewpoint.
Unnaturally Clean Bike
Picked up my unnaturally clean bike, resplendent with new parts, from Freewheel Bike. Took it for a spin.
Freewheel
Wheeled my bicycle over to Freewheel for a service. So many worn parts are being replaced, it’ll practically be a new bike.
Perfect Perch
It was a perfect day to get outside, meet a friend, ride our bikes, and stand at our favorite perch to watch trains going by.
Light Rail Construction
Our cycle route included several diversions to avoid construction of a light rail system. This elaborate bridge and viaduct will take the cycle trail over an existing freight track, light rail tracks, and a busy road.
Minneapolis Viewpoint
Found this Minneapolis viewpoint on my cycle ride.
Zig and Zag
Cycled to St. Paul’s Lake Como with a friend. On the way back, zigged and zagged up a ramp to get to this pedestrian bridge. Once, it must have traversed more than the two rail tracks below.
