Friday I ended up riding out to the Depot again. On the way back I "raced" a freight train. A rail line parallels the trail for part of the way and late morning is one of the times that a train comes through. I was able to keep pace with the train as it trundled east through the suburbs into Minneapolis and even gain a little time on it. My reward, though (that I knew was coming), was a rest at the point where the track crosses the bike trail. I enjoy the graffiti on the cars--some of it is pretty spectacular.
Over the weekend I rode the bike to the G and back. Six miles round trip each day. Not much, but it's something.
