    My wife Carol and I had a very pleasant ride along the Northern Rail Trail last weekend.  Thanks for recommending it.

    We started at Potter Place and rode north to Danbury. We stopped into both general stores just for a look around before riding back to Potter Place where we walked through the restored antique caboose and museum to take in a taste of local history. Then we rode a few miles south just past Andover and back. The ride, in both directions, was easy and pretty, passing ponds and meadows interrupted by more thickly forested areas and granite walls. There is an ever-so-slight grade but the level path makes riding easy enough in both directions. Since it was minimally populated by joggers, bikes and 2 horse back riders we were able to vary our speed for an additional work out between casual riding miles. I’m looking forward to riding a good deal more of the path and its eventual connection to Concord.

    Great resources. We regularly search out rail trails to ride our Sun tandem bike on. You mentioned your fat-tire tandem–the Sun tandem also has larger tires and manages well on rougher terrain. It’s also a slightly foot-forward tandem, and once we modified the gears to add more gears to it it’s worked great. Thanks for the info.

    Hey Tim,
    There is a trail from the town of Ashuelot up through Keene and on to Walpole that is varied and charming.
