Bike trails, islands, beaches, ocean… These are a few of my favorite things.

Bermuda Rail-Trail

And now it looks like I can enjoy them all in one place. Imagine riding your bike on a great rail-trail one  minute, then taking a break on a sandy  beach the next. That sounds pretty much like trail paradise to me. And thanks to Simon, the awesome webmaster at Bermuda Railway, I have discovered a new favorite island trail. If you’ve never visited Simon’s Rail Trail website, check it out. He’s done a nice job with the website and a general overview map of the trail. In fact, the map on Simon’s site is better than the official trail map I found online.

From the little research I’ve done so far, the trail is far from complete. It has some sections missing and some sections that are far from ideal for a relaxing bike ride. But hey, I’m willing to accept a few imperfections for a chance to ride my bike, on a trail, on an island. And dang, I may not finish the whole trail in one day; that means I’ll have to hang out on the island for a few extra days.

It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it. If any of you have ever ridden the Bermuda Rail Trail, leave a comment below. I’d love to read about your experience.
