Big Dam Bridge

[PscyclePath]

The Big Dam Bridge opened this morning with a ceremonial ride with the sponsors, BACA (Bicycle Advocacy of Central Arkansas), the Arkansas Bicycle Club, and Central Arkansas Recreational Pedalers in the lead. a little less than 200 or so riders, I guess... Shortly afterward the 5K foot race put more than 1500 runners over, and that was a pretty awesome sight as well.

Pictures, did someone say? try:

(Big thanks to Bryan, since I rode off & left my camera back in the truck)

The literature and our friends from Dogtown sez a 5% slope, but iy was a pretty easy ride over and back even in larger-than-middle-sized gear. And the view from up there... simply awesome.

Hope to see y'all somewheres along the trail...
