Itinerary description

Start the bike path at Harrah's Auto Museum at the river and Lake Street. Nice ride downriver, plus lots of enjoyable eateries up on the Sparks Blvd end. (Squeeze-In, Pinnoccios,LosCompadres,FortunePalace). Actually, lots of places to stop in Legends Mall too. There are a number of illegal campsites along the river, but I guess we can just be thankful not being in that situation too. Notice I take a little detour over to Fargo St as there is a funky/clumsy quarter mile gap in the path south of Howard St. and north of O'Callahan/Springland. Round trip is about 22 miles.

Fargo St is a nice quiet neighborhood connector for conveniently bridging the path gap from Howard in the north to O'Callahan or to Express in the south.

Sparks Blvd and Disc Drive - lots of ways to go

Convenient spot - lots of good eateries right in the shopping center. A gas station/convenience store is due east at Disc/Vista Blvd corner. From there broad sidewalks and a bike path all the way out to Wingfield Springs. Pinoccios is just north on Vista. Broad sidewalks go north on Sparks. Big sidewalk goes west to Galleria shopping and eateries.
