Agreed. It's a very nice ride. I do it at least once a year in my mix of rides. Sure has been improved since Minnehaha Pkwy was repaved. Only downside I've ever had was once along victory Pkwy an oncoming driver swerving toward me yelling, "Get off the road!", and a guy throwing his Coke can at me while on the West River Road. (I always stay well to the right, and slow down if not stop at all intersections. But some automobile drivers don't like sharing the parkway I guess.)
