As you may recall, the bike path has been under construction for several years and we've been having to find alternate routes to avoid all the mess for that whole time. But we haven't tried the bike path for a few months, so we thought we should go check it out and see how close to completion they were.
We made our way through Hermann Park and over to the "tunnel to nowhere" that we discovered about a year ago next to the path around the Hermann Park golf course. At the time, it had a fence across the entrance and it wasn't connected to anything. Lo and behold, though, a path has finally been installed leading to and from the tunnel so, full of optimism, we rode through it and set off to see if we could make it all the way to U of H again.
Happily, there are only a couple sections of dirt that we had to negotiate, so our bike route has finally been given back to us!
I was so inspired to know that we finally have our bike path back, I woke up early Sunday morning and got in another bike ride before the rest of the family got up. This time, I took my phone and got some pictures.
