Fighting Back Tears
Hastings, Minnesota
Being that Minneapolis is considered one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the U.S., I shouldn't have been surprised that I was able to traverse the city using nothing but paved bike trails: The Luce Line Metro Trail, The Theodore Wirth Memorial Trail, The Midtown Greenway (recently named the nation's best urban bike route), The West River Trail, The Minnehaha Falls Park Trail, and the Fort Snelling State Park Trail. Then it was just a hot 20 mile ramble through some familiar backroads. I slowed down to savor the last hour of this unbelievably rewarding journey. I conjured up a bunch of memorable moments from the trip. There were many. And then it was done.
