River Bottom Ride

Winter Biking

Dan, Jody and I took advantage of the warm weather and ripped it up today.  Starting at the Mendota parking lot, we headed south toward the Cedar Avenue Bridge.  

It was a bit gloomy, but great weather for a ride, with just a hint of new snow.  Lots of eagles hanging out today, all bald eagles.  In the past we have seen Golden eagles here, which is a real treat.  

They are building a new path, from the bridge at Cedar Avenue, that will connect to the east, and Comanche Road. (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/44.83093/-93.20569).  We sure hope this will not be pavement - especially on the volatile river bottom sand.

Here's our route as a trace on OpenStreetMap.
