Minneapolis Ground Rounds: 10.94 miles
TANDEM: Ride Time was 1 hour, average speed: 10.8
We began biking downtown Minneapolis upon our early arrival at the Midwest Mountaineering Outdoor Expo being held near the University of Minnesota. We parked the van and began to search for a bike trail that would allow us to quietly pedal along the Mississippi River. After a bit of a struggle, we finally found a paved trail that lead us towards the west bank of the Mississippi River.
It was a wonderful day of riding with temps in the 50’s. One motorist stopped us at a busy intersection apologizing for the intrusion but wanted her son to get a closer look at us on our strange bike. He shouted a cheery “hello” and we were then all on our way. We did not expect any speed records today but we did enjoy the constant view of the Mississippi River throughout our ride.
