Happy Birthday Mary and congrats on the ride. Sounds like a wonderful, relaxing, beautiful day! I know the route you're talking: I used to run the Canal Path (back when it was gravel) from Broad Ripple to the Art Museum and back. I have pixs in my house of the route especially around Holcomb Gardens to remind me of those simpler times! The Monon was still a train track when I lived there! as for the wrong turn to Albuquerque - really??...and ya didn't call me to come ride with ya?? Aren't those leisurely meandering rides fun?
Thanks for sharing it with us!
