Cycling route in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

TaKen on July 30th, it was beautiful and easy. On the way back, there are a fair amount of hills on Bloomington, so if you're expecting it, no biggie, but after pushing hard for most of the ride, then dealing with that half way through, it can be a little rough. Oh, and Bloomington is currently in the middle of being seal-coated, so it's not a smooth ride.
