Bicycle Trail

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.   Sept 29 (27) 

  I pedaled a round trip of four miles.  Not very far, but far enough for someone who hasn’t biked for quite awhile. 

Sept 29 (43) 

The trail section I was on passes under a four-lane highway.  There’s a semi rumbling by in this next photo. 

Sept 29 (53)

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.
