Lakefront Path is open....



Starting at Williams Blvd the Lakefront bike path is open to Bonabel , then if you go throught the neighborhood crossing that canal you can ride to Lakeshore Drive.... 
Its smooth, no pot hole or cracks, nice ride, at Causeway Blvd they've made a route under the Blvd
behind the levee not on the Lakeside of the Levee.  Pretty little benches and trash cans, but still no where to pee.  I did find a lot of British People on the path , they must be because they walk or jog on the left side of the 8 foot wide path,  and don't forget those 12 foot leashes on the family pets. Great ride.....

French Quarter Fest...

Did 40 miles Saturday and 25 Sunday. great weather,, after the rain Sunday.  Good crowds, 
no shootings,  good music, plenty tourist, limited where you can go on a bike, followed some Pedicabs around, they go everywhere.  Found the new path in City Park, 1mile track, nice, has water fountains and a bathroom. WOW!.   Protected by anti Coyote ultrasonic, gamma ray ,  repellent. Works, I didn't see any Coyote's.    Lakefront is closed off for repairs, needs it,  lot of mud on the Drive. The best act I saw at the fest was 2 young men on a corner (St Ann and Chartres ?) one playing the drums and the other playing a Sitar like Ravi Shankar. Sounded Great.  Stopped to check on my blackberries hidden along the river . Their coming up , won't be long..
