'The 6.5 mile Kennebec River Rail Trail welcomes locals and visitors alike for walking, running, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and dog walking. The trail parallels the existing rail bed along the Kennebec River, and stretches from Augusta Maine's Waterfront Park, through the towns of Hallowell and Farmingdale, to its conclusion in the city of Gardiner, Maine.'
We are so excited to find this lovely bike trail which runs along the Kennebec River! Riding on designated bike lanes on streets and highways is NOT my cup of tea, so I am fairly giddy with joy when we discover the Kennebec River Rail Trail!
Mike gets busy offloading the trikes, while I sidle over to the Subway to purchase sandwiches for a picnic lunch when we get to Augusta. There's a beautiful park just below the State House where we plan to have lunch.
The day is gorgeous, sunny and crisply cool. We get several thumbs-ups as well as 'Cool, Awesome, and Nice trikes' from the youngsters we encounter...and from a few oldsters! 'Are they comfortable to ride?' is always a common inquiry. My answer is usually something like 'Yeah, all you need is a beer and a remote!'
We trike a total of fourteen miles round-trip and are quite proud of our 60-something's endurance! We're gonna' sleep good tonight!
