Nice outing with my wife today. We rode about 5 miles out and back on the Southern New England Trunkline Trail with a lunch stop at Wallum Lake in Douglas State Forest. I rode my Viscount Sebring and Joan rode her 1996 Specialized Hardrock. The trail is a rail bed with varying surfaces but none of them very easy with our 28mm and 32mm tires - ballast, cinders, hard packed soil, sand, gravel. We have been exploring sections of this 22 mile trail by foot and by bike. If the surface were improved it would be a total gem. Here is a photo of me, the Sebring, and a dry-stacked tunnel under Massachusetts (and Rhode Island) Route 100.

Good stuff Brian, we have a lot of old railway trails around us and your picture looks like it could have been taken here. They are mostly rideable on a racing bike with 28mm tyres but difficult in parts where the surface is more loose gravel or mud.
They are a joy to ride when clear but lots of walkers on them this summer for obvious reasons.

One of the guys I follow on YouTube does some decent handheld phone videos out on his bike so I tried it the other week, not great quality but I use the trails that we’ve said look similar
