Canadian Geese followed me briefly on the Keystone Trail on their way to Papio Creek. |
The last portion of the trail is awesome. It is very well done with simulated stone retaining walls and almost wavelike smooth concrete along the edges on some of the downhill sections. I was impressed by the workmanship of the trail. Omaha is slowly becoming more and more bikeable which is a step in the right direction. With this connector finished I could bike the ten or so miles from my house to the city's downtown area.
This short trail was just a portion of the path I walked on Tuesday. I added a lot of street distance including past a new set of roundabouts at 42nd and Q. Roundabouts are fairly rare in Omaha but they are becoming more common ... another positive development in my opinion. I ended up doing 16 miles (25.75 km) in all. I was a bit sore when I got home. This was to be expected since I haven't kept up on my walking as I should have.
I hope to go for another walk on Friday but that all depends on how this cold the Wife passed on to me progresses. If I feel good I'll walk but if I feel like I'm dieing, then I'll be watching the Walking Dead on the DVR. Kind of appropriate I would say.
