Pedestrian Lift Bridge

Cycled to Wisconsin across a rarity: a working lift bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. Rode in a friend’s truck part-way, then cycled the Gateway and Brown’s Creek State Trails to Stillwater where the bridge crosses the St. Croix River. A new bridge now carries vehicle traffic.

River Trails

Cycled up-river as far as Interstate 694. Crossed the Mississippi on a bike path on the I694 bridge then cycled back.

Maybe in my Next Life…

At Gold Medal Park, towards the end of our walk, these delightful young people asked if we’d like to join the exercise group. Promised I’d consider doing that in my next life

Mississippi River Trail

A friend met me at Fort Snelling LRT Station, then drove to Spring Lake Park on the Mississippi, downriver from St. Paul. Cycled part of the beautifully engineered Mississippi River Trail across tallgrass prairie and along river bluffs with great views.

Avoiding Heat

Suddenly, early morning cycle rides are appealing. I was on the trail, today, soon after 7:00 a.m.: the temperature was already in the 70’s and it was delicious.
