dmazeWent out on Sunday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cfox for an extensive exploration of the Minuteman and associated trails. We rode out to Bedford, with a stop for birding at the pond just past 128, then rode the Narrow-Gauge Rail Trail north into Billerica, came back, and rode out on the Reformatory Branch Trail west into Concord. The total came out to just over 40 miles; we took enough breaks that it wasn't particularly tiring for me.
If you're up for something beyond the Minuteman and have reasonable tires, the northward trail is a nice extra ride. It was just over 15 miles from home to the end of the trail. From the Bedford depot, turn right; the trail is a block up on the left (signed "no motor vehicles"). The first bit is paved, beyond that it's unpaved but surfaced. It was a lot less crowded than the Minuteman proper. There's a couple of spaces you can stop and walk around if you want to.
In other news, we've been told we're definitely not working over the long weekend. Yay! I should try to get another trip together; maybe "bike back from Rockport" will work. Don't know if I have other plans or not.
