This is the new Christopher Bond Bridge over the Missouri. It carries I-35 into downtown and isn't suitable for bicycling, but it's nice to drive across. They kept the siderails low, so the view is great.I followed my short route this morning, with an added loop up Summit St., which has a stretch of 11% grade. This gives me some practice in the lowest gear with a fully loaded bike. The legs are feeling good. Tomorrow I'll add a little more distance and climbing to continue building leg muscles for our Day 3 climb over the Sierra Nevada's at Carson Pass, elevation 8573 ft. Yikes!
