80 degrees and beautiful
11 miles
Tonight we rode the lower loop (2x) and the upper loop of Iroquois Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Iroquois Park was planned by Frederick Law Olmsted as a "scenic reservation" of forested hillsides and breathtaking vistas in 1891. Back then it was promoted as "Louisville's Yellowstone". Today it offers mountain biking, road biking, walking trails, horse trails, disc golf, hiking trails, and much more. It was a very busy place tonight; I was really glad to see how many people were out appreciating this gem of a park.
Half of the lower loop and all of the upper loop was completely closed to cars tonight. It was nice to have the road sans cars and to not worry about them coming up behind us. The view from the top of the upper loop was worth the pedaling uphill.

Look, Sarah, what I found while riding the Lower Loop!
