Short Ride!

Just a 21 mile ride but it was tough! Rode from the house down Roanridge to 56th St. west on 56th and around Houston Lake. Came out of Houston Lake and continued west on 56th down through Misty Woods to 9 Highway. West on 9 Highway a short ways to the Riverside Trail. Rode the trail until it connects with the dike and returned only in time to have a train cross. Instead of waiting out the train, I repeated the trail ride which added another 2.25 miles. Better than staring at dirty box cars!

Came out of the trail and crossed 9 highway to continue west to Parkville. Rode one full lap around English Landing and headed north on 9 Highway. Jeez, what a nerve racking ride!! I didn't realize there wasn't a shoulder on 9 highway between Parkville and 45 Highway. I couldn't take any more of 9 highway so I turned into Riss Lake and rode around until it connected with 45 highway. From there it was a fairly easy ride back home...MIKE
