Biking in the 'Burbs

CLIVE, IOWA - Activity seems to have picked up on the RRVT the last week with the milder
weather we've been experiencing.  On several jaunts between Minburn, Dallas Center and Waukee the past several days folks are definitely taking advantage of the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the tranquility of the rural Dallas County countryside.
     After riding the RRVT into the heart of Waukee today, I veered off onto a "spur" trail that was recently expanded through several neighborhoods, across Alice's Road, and eventually into Clive where you can continue on to the trail system that eventually takes you to downtown Des Moines (without some of the big hills on the existing stretch of trail along Hickman Road).  It sure is exciting to see how easy it is to get just about anywhere in the Des Moines metro nowadays via the excellent network of paths and trails throughout the area.  We're quite fortunate to have these assets in our backyard!
