Bike Riding Weather

There was some excellent bike riding weather this weekend.  While out plotting a new route, I noticed a Road Closed sign along the Mississippi River.  The road was closed, but the bike trail was open.  Being the curious sort, and figuring the road was closed due to flooding (river over road type thing), I thought I'd bike down the trail to see how far I could go.

About 12 miles later I made my way through.  At about mile 9.5 the bike trail did have water over it, but a quick alt-route back onto the road gave a clear path.  So in reality, the bike trail should've been closed and the road open.

Ah well, nice ride.
