1. That rail trail sure is a gem.

   1. It certainly is, Beth! And we went the whole distance, from Augusta to Gardiner.

2. J > What’s the name of the waterway? A lovely September day – weather just like here, now. Looks like a railway line that’s been ‘singled, the trail laid out on half the trackbed. Is that correct?

   1. Gorgeous weather. The waterway is the Kennebec River, one of Maine’s chief rivers. Fortunately, the trail runs beside the railway line, so that if Maine should ever come to its senses, trains could once again run on that track.

3. I miss that ride so much. It was easy and there were good restaurants..

   1. A lovely place to ride. So nice not to have to worry about cars.

4. Wow – beautiful pictures. Congratulations on keeping up with your biking. Those stunning views must help with the motivation.

   1. Thanks, Jodie. We have really been diligent about riding our bikes, and the effects are so rewarding. I’m losing weight, my creaky knees are 50 percent better, and I have more energy. Win, win, win!

5. A rail trail with somewhere to eat is hard to beat.

   1. You bet!

6. Great series – looks like a nice day. The last two pix are my favorites. 🙂

   1. Thanks, Eliza.

7. What a lovely series of photos!

   1. Thanks, Clare. Such a great place for a bike ride. Along the Kennebec River, one of the major waterways in Maine.

8. Looks like a lovely day out.

   1. A beautiful place to ride, and best of all, no cars! Unfortunately, Maine doesn’t have many trails like that.

      1. Yes, no cars is a definite bonus!
