i have always loved bike riding. the freedom of hopping on and being able to go..... fast or slow it didn't matter. we bought really nice bikes ages ago and found that it was something we loved to do as a couple. even when the kids came along, we got the seats to have them with us. but it became less fun as we worried about getting hit on the road or finding the time to travel to a bike path to ride in safety. it seemed that the bikes just spent most of their time hanging in the garage. until this year....
my cousin was here for a visit and needed a place to go running. i had heard about this great new pathway in the community, but hadn't gotten there. she enjoyed it and raved that it was one of the nicer path's she had been on. after giving it a go, i realized what a gift was in my back yard! ( really it's just about a quarter of a mile away, but close enough :)
the
manchester gateway trail has become my almost daily obsession.
i've seen all sorts of creatures, and can usually find the perfect time of day to travel the 3 miles alone.
sometimes....... i even take the herd with me ;)

Wow - it's so pretty there. what a treat you have. Enjoy your bike riding days. Hopefully you can ride through December. Then in January you can get your snowshoes or X-country ski's out and explore. Looks so lovely with the fall leaves changing! Enjoy each moment.
