The First is the Worst
Last week C and I decided that it was time to get the bikes out. The wheel passes for the Cannon Valley Trail had come in the mail. The weather was nice and it was time to ride. We got a later start than we had planned. We had some discussion over riding the CVT or a trail nearer to home. We eventually decided to ride the CVT starting at the Welch midpoint and riding toward Cannon Falls. The trail has a slight incline going that direction and we thought it would be easier. Having made that decision, C loaded up our bikes while I dressed and got our water bottles ready. After the bikes were secured, we took off. It was a pleasant drive. We were both eager to get riding. We pulled into the parking lot and found a space. There were not many people riding late yesterday morning. It's one of the reasons why we like to go on the weekdays. The trail is less crowded. Our plan was to bike to Cannon Falls and eat lunch at a coffeeshop that we like. After lunch we would return
