Minneapolis Lakes - By Jace Bror

I have riden this route a few times. The route is nice because you can travel the parkway system all through the city around the multiple lakes and parks. It can be very nice when traffic is low, like during the spring/fall in the midweek. Otherwise it's a lot of sitting and overheating from the heat off the bike. The road surface is very rough, I think the city keeps it that way to keep people from speeding.
