More phone pics from today's hike. This is one of my "access" trails to the Airline Trail which is a Linear State Park in eastern CT. I've never made it to the bottom still clipped in and I've never made it to the top at all. It's a 250 ft drop over 2/5th mile and its all root, rock and sand.



The bottom of my fire road with a view of the prize.



The actual Airline Trail which goes on and on for miles. Ultimately all of it will look this good. There are still areas under construction though. In years past, the wet areas were simply filled with traprock untill they stayed above water. Then gravel and sometimes something more substantial is placed on top. It can be done on a road bike, but the tires aren't going to like if forever.
