Today is opening day for rail trails, sponsored by the national group railstotrails.org. It was a cold, windy blustery day that hampered all but the hardiest of bike riders. I came across a family and a father/son duo who stopped to chat a bit and allowed me to use their images on the rails to trails page., where there is still time to pledge to ride and be entered to win a new bike. 
My ride was a 12 mile slog through the windy coastal towns of Fairhaven and Mattapoisett MA. After spending a week in Austin, TX the change in the weather here was akin to a cold shower. Today was also day 16 of 30 days of biking.
For every 2 pledges, we’re donating $1 to World Bicycle Relief. Help us reach 10,000 pledges in 2016!
Around the block works, 100 miles does, too. The distance, destination and donut selections are up to you. Thank you for joining us!

Rails to Trails really is a wonderful project. It’s produced some of the best bike paths I ridden on.

They have a nice sojourn in June in West Virginia. I’m thinking about it.
