2015 08 08 - Joyce and John biking on Nashua River Rail Trail

HOME
Joyce and I rode the Nashua River Rail Trail bike path starting at the Gilson Road parking lot into the center of Pepperell, MA, a distance of almost 5 miles. We then had ice cream at the stand there. I kind of went overboard and ordered a "Caboose" and Joyce ordered a "Freight Train".

The rail trail currently ends at the Gilson Road parking lot. The goal is that eventually it will continue on further.

This summer an addition was added to the trail at the Gilson Road end. It is called the "Nashua Literacy Fitness Walk". A contest was held in an 8th grade English class. Students wrote stories based on research of the city of Nashua. The three winners' stories have been printed on 16 pages and each page is on a separate post like the one shown in picture IMG_2974 below. They are spread over a distance of about a mile. As you walk (or ride) along you stop and read each part of the story. I took pictures of all the pages, but some of them are a bit blury because the light was fading.
