Last Saturday afternoon I took advantage of some beautiful weather and the one working bicycle we have and ventured to a nearby biking trail that was built along a former railroad grade.
I pedaled a round trip of four miles. Not very far, but far enough for someone who hasn’t biked for quite awhile.
The trail section I was on passes under a four-lane highway. There’s a semi rumbling by in this next photo.
The fall colors were so gorgeous and the atmosphere was peaceful. There was a quiet camaraderie with other bicyclists who passed by. I had a great time and really should go there more often!

That looks like the bike/hiking trail that is near us on County Home Road E-4... I think it's so great that the county has turned these old railroad beds into walking/bike trails and most of them are paved..
We are having a lovely fall.
ta ta for now from Iowa:)
How lucky of you to have those beautiful roads to cycle. In Chicago, cyclists are too busy dodging cars and potholes to enjoy the ride.
