The Cheshire Rail Trail goes from Keene, NH to Bellows Falls, VT but it looks faint and elusive the further you get from Keene. I'm checking out someone’s Street View, wondering if the family can/would try it, then I pan the camera down to see who’s riding it. ";^)
Shot in 2020, I wonder if the trail has had much work since?
Family bike ride yesterday along the Sugar River rail trail that goes from Newport to Claremont, NH. Winding along the river we saw quite a few fly fishing folks in their hip waders angling for the best spots. Also quite a few sturdy bridge crossings, many of them covered. This rail trail allows motorized recreational vehicles which results in a more chewed up surface: loose sand, gravel, and washboard bumps makes for slow going and more pedaling.
For my birthday I rode the Northern Rail Trail today. Longest I’ve ever ridden is under 40 miles and this clocks in at 60, but it’s mostly flat, even a little downhill sometimes. Also had idea of going same number of miles as my age, but ran out of rail trail and didn’t feel like going a few extra miles through rainy streets just for that. #biking#RailTrail
Went for a long gravel ride. The main feature would have to be all of the water. Rivers running high, ponds overflowing, low spots that are now streams ... water everywhere.
It’s that time of year again, when the excellent Amtrak 30 day, 10 segment USA rail pass is on sale. Only $450! I’ve done it before, and it’s amazing. #rail#train#travel
@ukuku Cool! I've only taken the amtrak a couple times, St. Paul to Chicago. Looking to do some combined rail / bicycle touring.
Do you have any recommendations for destinations I could access from lines from Chicago...Destinations which have outstanding cycle touring options readily accessible from the train depot? Especially rail trails for rural, good cycle infrastructure for cities. #amtrak#cycletouring#cycling#railTrail#RailsToTrails
We just published a guide to ALL the navigable rail trails on the Manchester and Keen Railroad between Keene and Hancock, including trails in Marlborough, Dublin, Chesham and Harrisville.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a popular and fully-paved 28 mile rail trail running through the middle of this coastal peninsula from Mid to Outer-Cape. We reviewed, mapped and photographed it here .. https://www.trailspotting.com/2023/06/cape-cod-rail-trail-ma.html
