Took a much-needed microvacation, a couple of days visiting with friends in Brewster. While it wasn't exactly a bicycle-centric trip, it did provide the opportunity to do a few hours of exploring the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Old Colony Rail Trail in a very preliminary fashion. I rolled out on the Ocean Air Cycles Rambler, and probably violated the posted speed limit from time to time.


Trail trees are where you find them.


Not so crowded on the trail, people came and went, generally with smiles on their faces.




For some, the trail was the thing. For others, it was an adjunct to whatever the thing was: this pond, for instance.


The Rambler acquitted itself well, and picked up a few compliments. Low trail, steel frame, and wide, supple tires, hurrah!


Took a side-trip on the Old Colony Rail Trail: rode all but the last (or first) mile, depending on how you reckon it. My temporal discipline is better than it used to be...


Lobster traps piled up in the woods. What's that about? Fishery collapse?


Pylon trail: if I ride the bike on gravel, is it a gravel bike?


Eastern painted turtle rescue. Also saw a doe on the trail, but she rescued herself.


Nice place, good trail, good people, I look forward to returning. I'm late to the party.
