City Living

I have always loved living in the city - as compared to the suburbs.  Much more going on - much more energy - and easier to get to "cool" places to hang out.  I have often joked with my friends that why do I need to ever go outside of the belt-loop when I have everything I need right here in St. Paul?  Well ... everything I need except for some of my friends!!! :)  So - today I will venture outside of my comfort zone and head to Inver Grove Heights.  Ok, ok, it is really not that far - only 13 miles to my friend's house.  But it will be interesting to start to test some of the bike mapping tools.  I am using the route Google Maps suggested for my trip today.  What a cool feature that you can get directions anywhere driving, walking, biking or bussing.  Just another day of experiencing something new on this journey.

    Way to go with your cycling commitment! If you are not familiar with Cyclopath I highly recommend it for bike routes. It's locally produced and better than google maps, though not as easy to access from a phone.

    magic.cyclopath.org

    happy cycling.

    Thanks! I need to check it out. I have heard of it - but not mapped a ride with it yet. Thanks for the support! :)
