Changing Up the Site a Little

Besides model railroading and train watching, my other passion has become the non-motorized bike riding.  I now have a mountain bike and a road bike.  I have done some rides on some on three rail trails in eastern mass.  One in Ayer, MA that runs to Nashua, NH and two others that start in Lexington, Ma.  In Lexington there is the famous and busy Minuteman Rail Trail that goes to Alewife Brook T-Station.  The Ayer Rail Trail is more scenic. You can ride a regular bike on both.  There is also the short Narrow Gauge Rail Trail that heads north out of Bedford, MA at the same spot where the the Minuteman begins.  The narrow gauge trail starts out on pavement but quickly goes to gravel, so you should have a fat tired bike to take on this trail.  There is also a book on Massachusetts Rail trails and I plan to explore some next spring and post about my regular bike rides as well.   Just thought I would update you all.  Expect to see a page set up for my bike rides.
