Lovely fall weekend

This was one of those weekends that makes New England simply great!

Saturday BB and I went for a long bike ride on the Nashua River Rail Trail. This was a wonderful paved trail following a RR right of way that parallels the Nashua river between Ayer, Ma and Nashua, NH. The trail runs through woodland, farm fields, ponds, wetlands, and, of course, the Nashua river. We rode about 16 miles. With a paved surface and little climbing it was an easy ride. Here are the photos and videos.

Sunday was another lovely day and we went for a short ride through some of the Sudbury Valley conservation land and then over to the Assabet Wildlife Refuge.

The visitor center was open so I took the opportunity to stop in and ask that the trails that connect to the Sudbury Valley conservation land be opened to bicycling. It was a mostly wasted effort but I did get a card for someone to call about the matter. I don't have much hope but I'll give a call and we'll see what happens.

Here are the photos, etc.
