This is a great ride if you are looking to relax and take it easy. I live about 10 mins from this ride and I find myself destressing around the lake quite a bit. You will see multi million dollar mansions and have great views of Lake Minnetonka.

Best traveled early on a Sunday morning. Heavy traffic on most other days of the week. Excellent scenery and some nice, twisty sections. Good for low-speed cruising.

It was ok, it'd be better without all the traffic etc... I can see why it is an attractive place to live it is to crowded for my taste.
