Cycling 1:25:00 [2]
To U City Library with stop at Kayak's on return trip.
Darn -- WU bridge over FPP is under (re)construction -- nice route connecting to Loop is out for quite awhile.
Came up on bad cyclist-runner/walker accident on Skinker part of FP bike path - others already on phone and providing aid. Runner still down with bloody head. Cyclist down with scrapes. My guess is that cyclist was coming downhill at fast clip and runner/walker had chosen not to use runner path 15 feet away. On busy weekends, for safety, I will usually choose roads over bike paths. It is sad and frustrating that so MANY runners/walkers refuse to use "their" path which is so safer and easier on knees. There'd still be strollers and bladers on path, but a lot fewer people.

Cycling 2:35:00 [3]
Loop from Nottingham Service including Francis, Willmore, JB, and Forest Parks. Bit hot and humid, quite hilly, good workout for no cycling in a month -- legs needed it.
