Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days.
I just got back from New Mexico where I rode the Santa Fe Rail Trail and the Bosque in Albuquerque. I had great weather and good biking. I especially enjoyed riding the train from Santa Fe to Albuquerque between my two bike rides.
Information about the Bosque Bike Trail in Albuquerque is available on trailsnet.com.
I’ll post information about the Santa Fe Rail Trail soon.

I am extremely pleased to announce that I’ve discovered a website that features wheelchair accessible trails.
It is www.wheelchairtrails.net. It provides access information about San Francisco Bay Area parks.
You’ve probably read my rants about the senseless focus on only mountain bike trails and road bike routes.
Yes, I’m an avid mountain biker, and I realize there are hundreds of thousands of people who enjoy riding on mountain bike trails and on roads. But I believe there are even more people who would enjoy riding bikes if they had access to multipurpose trails such as rail-trails.
everyone, regardless of age, ability, physical condition, or bicycle type. To help improve health, the environment, and family togetherness, we must promote bicycling for everyone, not just people of a certain age or ability.That is one of the reasons why I started trailsnet.com.

Wow there are some great trails in the United States. I couldn’t tell you which state has the best trails, but New Hampshire would certainly rank up there pretty high. Last October, I had the opportunity to visit the following five trails:
Ammonoosuc Rail Trail in Littleton, NH
Ashuelot Rail Trail in Keene, NH
Cheshire Rail Trail near Keene, NH
Rockingham Recreational Trail near Manchester, NH
Northern Rail Trail near Lebanon, NH
What these trails lack in pavement, they make up for in scenery, ambience, & character. All of them wander through beautiful New England countryside. All of them would make awesome fall foliage rides, and all of them are easily accessible.

“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” – Lewis Carroll
The same thing goes for trails, but even more so. People are usually on a road to get from point A to point B. However, we often ride trails as much to get away from something as to get to something. For example, we may be trying to escape stress or loose pounds, or get away from the tedium of every day life.
So when you feel like you just need to get away, find a trail… any trail. Then just wander. Enjoy the peace and slower pace. Relax and unwind. Trails are the perfect therapy.
