The North Sea Cycle Route

Early this week I rode about fifty kilometers along the North Sea Cycle Route, a 6,000 km/3,600 mile long bike path around the North Sea in Europe. The Bike Route was funded in part by the European Community. It should be an example to leaders in Minnesota of what can be accomplished and how to do it. When biking on this trail one cannot but help but feel sorry for 56572 when we allowed funding for a bike trail to slip out of our hands a few years back and what might have been. Biking the North Sea Cycle Route convinced me that a bike trail connecting 56572 and nearby State Parks is a cause worth revisiting. Let's not get it wrong twice. Will somebody call Cal and Keith?
