42 trips to the Long Meadow Bridge

Had to cancel the Boundary Waters trip.  Substituting 42 bike rides from my house to the old Cedar Avenue Bridge (Long Meadow Bridge) which is a challenging ride and a cool-ass bridge built in 1890. 

The route is not without it's quirky features, either.  The wetlands are flooded, closing the roads to traffic. 

 The Long Meadow Bridge is chained off and marked with "No Trespassing" signs, and the old road to the bridge is grown over entirely. 

All of this just makes me glad I'm wearing a helmet and have a fun destination.
