Slow ride

We wanted to do some biking this fall, in fact, our plan was to check out a new park every weekend in October but since the weather has been cold and wet that plan changed quickly.  This Saturday was the first decent day we've had, so we finally hopped on our bikes.  The hope was to see some fall colors but since its winter in Minnesota already most of the leaves already fell off the trees without ever turning color.
We biked a three mile loop around Shingle Creek.  It's a cool little trail with a canopy of trees, and of course a creek running along side the trail.
There are several bridges in the park too.  I'm telling you Minnesota is pretty serious about their parks, they pave trails, build bridges, whatever they need to do for a good looking park.
 We found a bunch of ducks hanging out near one of the bridges.  How they swim around in that chilly water, I'll never know! 
We had a good ride, all except for Jason's bike tire.  It kept going flat! 
Luckily, we brought along a tire pump but it was quite a pain lol.
