Bike riding in town

We decided to take a little bike ride around the green belt today and it was certainly a nice day to do it. Karen is getting better with her bike but she's still a little over cautious. I guess she should be since she is still healing from her broken ankle. Nevertheless she did great and even climbed a few of the little hills on this ride today with no problems.

The green belt trail is paved all the way up to the College campus at Freeman park so we went all the way up there this time.

There is one spot where the trail has to take a float trip under a bridge on the Snake river. It is kind of a cool place if you ask me, none of the trails I have ever ridden go across water. This part of the trail is only open in the summer and due to the increased water flow during the winter and spring, it is closed during those times.

On the way back we went through old town and stopped at the Great Harvest bakery and had a sandwich. They have good sandwiches there as we found out today in addition to the great bread they make at that place. It was nice that we didn't have any trouble finding a place to park since we were on our bikes. Ya gotta love bike riding... Yeah! Oh, the ride today turned out to be 9.3 miles which neither one of us thought was correct but that's what my gps said. We'll check it next time we do that one.
