We had such a FUN Labor Day bike ride. Temps were in the 70s with low humidity and bright sunshine -- couldn't have ordered up a more beautiful day! We rode from the home we're renting in Prairie Village (KS) into downtown Kansas City, MO and all over to various sights there. DH thought the traffic would be light on a holiday, and he was right -- only a couple times did I get a bit nervous about traffic on a couple of roads with many lanes. The ride there and back took us through many beautiful neighborhoods with hardly any cars, we happened upon a beautiful rose garden in Loose Park (we'd never been there), and made it all the way to the Amtrak station. Total mileage was 28.5, but with all our stops/starts and urban pace, that was close to three hours of saddle time.
I posted some photos on Photobucket if anyone wants to take a look: Labor Day Kansas City Ride
