After
three years of construction activity and many years in poor condition,
bikers in north St. Paul now have a great east-west connection linking
regional trails and three major city parks.
It
was perfect weather as a dozen ULLRs experienced the new trail on
Wheelock Parkway. Beginning at the State Fair Grounds we rode
east to Como Park and picked up Wheelock Parkway to the Gateway Trail
and on to the intersection with the Bruce Vento Trail, a 15-mile round
trip. While one group returned to the Fair Grounds, another
continued on the Gateway Trail to Maplewood for a 20-mile roundtrip.
After the ride we enjoyed a picnic and conversation at the Space Tower on the Fair Grounds.
