Ride on the Hennepin Feeder Canal 7-20-12

We rode down to Star Road this morning, nice and cool for a ride, in the 70's, at Star Road the underpass was flooded, they must be releasing water due to a shortage on the Hennepin Canal, when they do that some of the underpasses are flooded more than others. To complicate things, there is lots of algae bloom and it was mucky with wash out mud also. I got through fine but Judy got sideways and almost fell, her bike was a muddy mess, so I dipped the wheels and spun them to get them clean and used a discarded beer bottle to rinse the brake pads as they were full of mud and grit. There were 2 trees across the path up by Buehl road that we had to go around. I called them in to the park office, should have reported the mess in the under pass also.
