This morning we took advantage of the cooler weather and went for a ride. It”s been in the 100s for the past couple of weeks and today”s high was forecast-ed to only be in the upper 80s. We decided to ride the Gypsum Creek path in Wichita. We hadn”t ridden this path in probably 20 years. We began at the South end at Planeview Park and rode to it”s end at Douglas street. I think the trail is about 5 miles one way. Nova got an extra 2 miles in as we had a dispute over which way the trail went at one point so we separated ways and then she had to back track after determining I was right after all 🙂
At the north end of the trail we stopped at Target where Nova bought a shirt. On the way back we stopped to do a little car shopping on Kellogg and then stopped at the Bagatelle Bakery (just off of the trail to the West on Harry street) for coffee and a croissant.
Once back to our starting point we wanted to keep riding so we continued on the Planeview path and then over to the Arkansas River path and rode it up to Harry street. The South end of the Arkansas River path takes you across the historic John Mack rainbow bridge. The morning ended with a ride up the old Soap Box Derby hill. Here is the partial track from the ride. My phone battery went dead and didn”t track the entire ride.
