Notes
-Have been wanting to take this route for a while. Overall, it was pretty good. Some of the roads were pretty crappy, but rideable.
-Going along Shepard there was the Women Rock Half Marathon/10k so there were thousands of women running along the road.
-Warner Bridge closed in St. Paul so had to take a detour through downtown and Indian Mounds Park area. If doing that route again I need to go on Mounds Blvd vs the path.
-Along Point Douglas Road S was nice, although I wouldn't do the route again after rain, due to numerous puddles.
-7th Ave through Newport was a good route, although, crossing over 494 was the worst smell I have ever smelled in my life. I remember it smelling bad around that area when I did the Mississippi River Regional trail, but this was far worse.
