13.38 miles - Hopkins/MPLS Lakes Route

The Hopkins\MPLS Lakes route is another short route that is easy to fit into your day. Going out of my neighborhood and right onto the SW Corridor, as soon as you get into Hopkins' territory, you swing north into St. Louis Park via the Hutchinson Spur trail and follow that around to Cedar Lake in Minneapolis. Then follow that to Lake Calhoun. Go around Lake Calhoun and back west up the SW Corridor to my neighborhood.

This is one of my favorite routes due to the lack of biker traffic and a great "downhill" behind Peter Hobart Elementary School. It has some fast turns and has some quieter spots. Today was a slow easygoing ride that was quiet and enjoyable. I rode Bullit.
