06.12.2003: used to be

This 'Used To Be' part of my daily bike ride to work during the warmer months of the year. Towards the bottom of the picture there is a trail that runs along the edge of the river and then goes up the dirt road towards the right. For the last 4 years, this was my favorite part of my bike ride. This year they started construction on a bridge that will go over the river and connect to a new road (where the existing dirt road is). This will become a major traffic link to the West side of our town. I'll be able to bike on the new road and bridge, but no more river trail rides here. It sure used to be nice.
