Fixed.

@@Ratbas You rock!

Thank-you. I have to get out to Hampton to shoot that new trail soon. I've walked a little of it. Have you checked it out yet?

No worries. I have a cemetery tour uploading right now (St Joe's), a couple of things recorded this morning I'll have to edit (Commemorative and downtown walking tour) and I'm also trying to cover a couple of more things today (Parker lecture series and David Amram at Backpage).

5th Floor. The 4th is this kind of steampunk-looking mall. I think floors 1 and 3 are apartments and 2 is storage.

Sorry you picked a weird week, there's gonna be a bunch of non-bike videos this weekend (Kerouac Festival). But if there's any specific trails you're curious about feel free to ask.

Here is part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5zPaIqbrL-XbLc

This other video of mine might be of more interest to you then. Also available in normal speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHjbmq2qfNyImpY

It took me two and a half days to do a variation of out-and-back. Day one was eastern terminus to about thirty miles in and back. That night I drove to the western terminus and the next day covered the rest of the trail eastbound plus westbound to the painted silos. I stayed overnight at a bed and breakfast then did the last thirty miles in the morning. As far as camping along the trail goes I don't feel that I'm an adequate source for information. If you mean just tossing up a tent or a hammock by the side of the trail I feel like you probably could do that in many areas without any problem. If you mean formal campgrounds I know there's a few but couldn't say where or how good they are. I will say that when I did it the western thirty miles or so where it's going more north than west is pretty much no-man's land/farm country/ hard to get a signal. Another thing to keep in mind is that parts of the trail are still closed due to flood damage. When I was up there a couple of weeks ago this included a few miles on the eastern side of The Bend. Seems like the best bet at that point is to just skip The Bend altogether (left on Belfry Road in East Hardwick), should be like a one mile road segment that'll save you seven or eight miles? Anyway, have a good ride. Let me know how it goes.

Yup. Very popular spot.

Have there been any major changes that you were able to pick up on? This was recorded just before last year's floods.

@@Ratbas we rode from Swanton to Saint Johnsbury, and the only difference we encountered was in a closed section about 2 miles long south of Greensboro Bend, we rode the recommend detour, and it was fine. Everything else is was pretty much the same as in your video. It sounds like there’s a lot of damage from this months flooding though, I’m heading out to ride LVRT again in October so I’ll let you know how it goes.

Ehh, "Alter Bridge"... "other side." Video of a bridge reopening. Legally had to.

Do you know how long it's temporary for?

I played with 3D back when GoPros first came out. There was a special housing thing where you'd tie two of them together. If you search back a bit I think one of them was a Lowell street ride video. It still gets a couple of hits now and then, but I don't know what's currently available tech-wise. I have thought about 360, but haven't done much research. From what I've seen so far from GoPro, their 360 cams leave you SOL if the lens gets scratched (with their regular cameras it's a $10-20 fix to change a lens).

@Ratbas I think what I meant to say is 360 and not 3D. I've seen this used in other landscape videos, but not many. Works even better vith VR goggles on.

Thank-you. I've done literally every railtrail in NH (you earn a patch for that through NH Rail Trail Challenge). I have videos of all of them. Here's Sugar River: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJmuqqqIbsyFeqs

Has it changed much over the years?

I'm glad it was helpful, but be careful.

I haven't heard much on that. Sorry.

Thank-you. I've added Wayland to the title.

Agreed. But the Mass Central deal is coming along, so soon the southern stretch of this will network in with that and the Bruce.

Thank you.

On the trail? Nope.

Me as well. Thought I saw another abandoned rail section just off 62, totally overgrown. Edit: looks like what I saw is part of what will become the Mass Central.

Should be all set now. Just have to add the descriptions.

Southbound Regular is also now available.

Mostly a 2002 Marin Larkspur.

I have that in other videos and include the missing mile. This is from 2020. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJjYfWxnd6qpiLM

As you know that street where you ended is going to be COMPLETELY different in fy 2027. That is where Rte 93 exit 4 a Will come through. It will be the size of the Pawtucket blvd for about 2 miles there. The trail will be completed then. It has a very circuitous route for the rail trail to continue, with several switchbacks dropping 20’ in elevation going under a bridge Along a stream under the street to more switchbacks back up to street level. Terrible design by NHDOT.

@@jamesroddy8238 - I wouldn't be happy as a resident along the new exit path, but it might alleviate the traffic that builds up on Rt. 102 sometimes. I saw the eventual bike path workaround is convoluted. I don't mind the extra distance as I'm out to exercise, but a 6 lane crosswalk stinks compared to a tunnel.

The picture is of under Powder Mill Road in west Concord. The trail currently ends there.

@@Ratbas Cool. Thanks for doing what you're doing with these videos.

I did the Lamoille in Vermont last year. That's 93 miles of stonedust and crosses the whole state east-to-west. Lots of long uninterrupted stretches. That's up there. In NH I loved the Presidential Trail. That's 25 miles of dirt and scenery. For paved trails though I think the Salem-Windham-Derry is the only one they have outside of some pretty short ones. The NH Rail Trails Challenge maintains a list and gives you a patch if you finish all of them. For Maine most people prefer the carriage roads up in Acadia, but if you don't like hills that definitely isn't for you. I like the Eastern Trail that starts down in Kennebunkport and outside of a small gap of a few miles goes up to Portland. In Mass I might be partial to the Bruce Freeman since as a Lowell guy I can just ride to it, but it legitimately is one of the best trails in the state. Down on Cape Cod most people prefer the Shining Sea. I'm more partial to the mainland side of the Canal Trail. The CCRT is awesome for a long ride, but a lot of people think it has too many crossings. The Province Lands trail is also a fun little five-mile roller-coaster. Rhode Island has three good trails: Blackstone, Washington Secondary, and the East Bay. East Bay is the one to aim for. Unfortunately I haven't really explored Connecticut as I should have, but I have done the Farmington Canal trail. Except for a gap of a few miles right in the middle this is a good long paved trail that goes from the Mass border to New Haven and has some nice scenery. I have videos for all of these. Let me know if you need help finding them.

@@Ratbas thanks for your thorough response man. I’ll have to check out some of those. I rode the Cape Cod rail trail a few times as a kid as I used to live in Brewster down the cape about 15 years ago. I loved it back then but for some reason never went looking for other rail trails to ride. Now I’m hooked. Ride safe, brother.

LOL, I forgot I still have that coffee thing mentioned. I'm out of Lowell, so whenever I start up again I tend to hit the nearby ones first: Bruce Freeman, SWD (and sometimes Londonderry to the airport thrown in), and the Nashua River (which I should get to in a few of days). Thank-you.
