I rode on the Jordan Creek Greenway a few days ago as part of my effort to document the environment of Springfield’s urban core as part of my Urban Challenge series. Jordan Creek runs east to west through the middle of the core.

Cool! I shall have to take a video of my own nearest two equivalents. Bow down and thank the cyling gods that they have smiled on you so well!

Depending on where I’m headed for in town, I often use this segment of trail. My reservations: 1) I wish the surface was totally dry during our dry spells; and 2) I think it is a little clumsy where this segment ends on Sherman.
This trail picks up again, several blocks south on Sherman and goes parallel to Trafficway as far as Jefferson where it picks up a few city blocks with sharrows.
