The Airline Trail

Enough for the doom and gloom of economy and history for one day. Yesterday, we had a wonderful bike ride alone the Airline Trail which goes from East Hampton, CT (about an hour drive north from us) thru Colchester, Lebanon, and Hebron. The trail itself is 22.4 miles, according to the handbooks, although then it links up with the "Airline Trail North" that goes all the way up into Massachusettes (originally this was a railroad line that went from New Haven to Boston). We could only manage to go about 11 miles up the trail before having to turn around and ride back (warning, the way back is more uphill than the way out!) but it still made for our longest single-day ride so far of 22.5 miles total.

I thought my Mod-Blog friends might enjoy sharing the ride by seeing the photos we took along the way. If you are ever in CT with your two-wheeled friend, it is definitely worth a ride.
