The air quality wasn’t bad today so I headed out on my bike to check out the city. I’ve never really been on the Bow River trail, and it was quite lovely and it’s nice to see the pathway infrastructure has improved substantially since I’ve lived here.
I continued through Fish Creek Park, which I know a little better although my memory of it is fuzzy. A little detour through some of my old neighborhoods and then I enjoyed the pathway around the reservoir.
There were a lot of folks out today, not surprising since it was a nice day and a holiday weekend. I even got to see some people floating down the river, something I used to do when I was a kid.
