Starting your run in a place called Rock Island just seems cool and the city planners laid out a nice loop for me to follow: over one bridge towards the Davenport baseball stadium, through the quiet Sunday morning city streets, past the casino, past the popular, but "To Go" coffee shop, back on a different bridge near a dam & an Army installation, back over the river & finishing on the riverside bike path. I expected a bigger challenge today from the mighty Mississippi.
