AM: Still in Minneapolis, but I am catching a flight home at noon. Woke up today and hit the cool trail and feel in love. I ended up following it for 6.5 miles. It is basically a paved bike trail hidden out in the woods. No traffic, very few people, beautiful sights. It was endless. It seemed like it went all the way into the downtown area, but I didn't get that far. I did pass the joining of the Mississippi and the Minnesota rivers along the way. Lots of the trail was on the shores of the Mississippi. Pretty good pace, not hard, but steady. Lots of rolling hills to break it up. I did love the oxygen content at 800' elevation.
