Thank God for rail trails

Today we were able to get a wonderful meal cooked by my sister Kayla. I would have to agree with her that the bacon crisper is a fantastic invention. John asked me later what kind of bacon it was so Kayla if you could post a comment and let us know that would be great. We got going on the Farmington Valley Greenway and we were rolling. We made a quick stop for John to get to get his biked serviced at the Bike shop then it was smooth sailing to the Mass border. Once we got there it was a different matter. In Suffield they were working on grading the dirt obviously preping to pave more and they said we could pass. Then we came across a crew paving on the mass side of the border. They didn't really take to kindly to us being on the asphalt that they had just put down a few hours earlier. Oops. Next came route 10. The only road portion of the day. It was ok with not to many bad hills (thank god). Then when we hit North Hampton we were able to get onto another rail trail that ran right through Amherst. It was a good way to end the day. Flat with a great view as we went over the bridge on the Connecticut river. Now we have gotten into Aunt Debs in Amherst and Lizzy is cooking up some food that smells wonderful. Till tomorrow. P.S. I was just looking through my bag and I believe I may have left my cell phone at my house. If you are trying to get in touch in a timely fashion, sorry but your out of luck.
