Cycling 3:05:00 [3]
With JB and Grant's trail reopened last week, rode CW route: Carondelet park, RdP trail, Casino and JB, Grant's trail, and home via FP.
Saw 2 teens with hula hoops in their driveway. Saw mom and 2 toddlers in big FP sandbox -- ie trap next to a green. All 3 courses still closed. Paused in FP -- drank and checked Accuweather. "rain in St. Louis in 3 minutes" warning! OOPS! Well, 3 minutes into West County gave me plenty of time to get home dry.
I'd never cycled first mile of Grant's trail -- did today hoping to ride all the way to RdP. Looks finished but barrier about 1/4 mile south of trailhead parking lot at mile 0. When GT is extended and opened about two more miles I propose that instead of renumbering mileage from new "0" to "10" that they use 0; -1; -2 . Saves money and teaches some arithmetic!
New RdP bike trial bridge - one span installed, two to go.
