A road to ourselves

Carrie and I worked a shift for our church at the car show this evening. After cleaning up, we left around 9 pm. I was thinking we should avoid the parking lot that was Snelling Ave (for any who aren't in the know, Snelling Ave is a 4 lane divided 45mph road), but the idea of passing all those cars was too much. We cruised up the on ramp and started passing the lineup. I was wishing I had ridden something narrower than my Albatross bar, when I noticed all the cars were being directed off of Snelling. I asked the officer if the sidewalk was closed and he said, "go right ahead". So we rode from Energy Park Drive to Thomas, without a single car on Snelling Ave!!

It was one of the most amazing bike rides I have ever been on.
