LRT and Greenway Bike Trail (37+miles)

Perfect day for a bike ride.....blue skies, mid sixties, wind 14-15 ...a challenge on the way back...........


Started from home and got on EP Road to the LRT Trail under the Crosstown Bridge. This limestone gravel bike trail winds around
Shady Oak Lake as it turns to a paved trail in Hopkins


Pedaling on through St. Louis Park........pass Lake Calhoun and continued on to the end of the Greenway Bike Trail to downtown Mpls.



Take the time to check out the view of the Martin Olav Sabo Bridge over Hiawatha Avenue.
You can view the Mpls skyline and the architectural design of this bridge.








Biking against the wind made it a little tough on the way back. One way was approximately 17 miles Added another 3 miles around Lake Calhoun on the way back.



The Coffee Depot in Hopkins..........a meeting spot for cyclist and a great central meeting place for bikers to start their ride on the various trails.

Early start got me back before noon with plenty of time to do other things the rest of the day.

See you on the Trails!
