велосипед!

What a beautiful ride we had yesterday with our new friends from Russia!






We started with Wheel Fun Rentals at the corner of Brook and Witherspoon (Waterfront Park) and from there, checked out the Extreme Park.




Did you know Perm modeled their extreme park on ours? Click here to learn more.


Next we went to the Big Four, and proceeded to follow the new path along the waterfront past the marina...






...and all the way to Eva Bandman Park, where we got to explain CycloCross to our group! No one opted to do the Green Monster this time. ;)






We went back along the Waterfront and all the way to the locks.






We wove our way through Portland back downtown, where our new friends negotiated traffic on Market Street quite well.




Thanks to everyone who made it out. You were so welcoming and friendly to our visitors. Special thanks to Tom Dumstorf, Joanne Lloyd Triplett and Wheel Fun Rentals for helping make all this possible! We hope to partner with Sister Cities Louisville again soon.
