I can see path across the river but have no idea how to get there or if it would get me anywhere I want to go. I'm guessing it used to connect to the path under ogden road bridge prior to it being washed out.

Any other routes from 24th street or around southcentre Volkswagen/woodridge ford?

Also my gears keep slipping. I'll be riding and go to peddle hard to get through an intersection, or after gently/slowly passing someone I'll hammer the pedals to get up to speed and the chain seems to slip out of gear and into a lesser gear or another spokey thing (what ever the chain travels along). I had it in for a tune recently but it's always seemed to do this. Actually come to think of it my road bike (I'm talking about a mountain bike) does it too. I've almost bailed because of it, slipped on my handle bars, it's worse if I'm standing, or acutally riding a trail and need the pedal stroke, if it slips I lose all power and sometimes can't climb the steep incline I was about to go up, or corner, or embankment etc. It's also a little embarrassing.
I'd send Pylon a PM so he comes here to look - he seems pretty savvy with repairs/tuneups.
