Let's ride bikes! part the third

[clindau]

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

See? Your romp around Lake Constance will be a breeze.

There is a website called Cyclopath that maps bike rides in the metro area; it says that the ride from home to the Depot and back is 14 miles. An average day on the Lake Constance trip is about 25 miles, or almost two Depot round trips. You're right, Laura, I can totally do this. Whee!
