It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. One of the things I like to do for fun is to go for a bike ride. I also use my bike to run errands and for appointments.
It was hot last weekend so I started out early in the morning and rode along the Mississippi River to downtown and then picked up the Bruce Vento trail behind the ballpark and took that through Swede hollow park, past the old Hamm’s brewery and then onto Lake Phalen. I biked along the lake to Keller lake and then on to Spoon Lake in Maplewood.
I have to say it was a wonderful ride. The regional parkland along the lakes have boardwalks that go right over the wetlands. I plan to go back soon. The trails are not nearly as crowded as the trails along the river between Minneapolis and St. Paul.
