Rails To Trails Bike Path


Anthony and I sporting our rockin bike helmets!
On Saturday we spent the morning on a bike trail together. Rails to trails is a non-profit organization that turns old train tracks into paved trails for walking, biking, etc. They are wonderful trails. We have several near our house. We packed ALOT of water, a snack and set off for the bike trail!

There were quiet a bit of people there, but everyone you cross paths with are so friendly. Also, they were mindful of Anthony, being so young with his training wheels. That's one reason I like the Rails to Trails paths, they are completely paved, which is great for training wheels.


C&O Canal  (Hancock, MD)
We stopped frequently to drink our water and enjoy the shade of the trees with the hopes we'd see some type of wildlife, other than your typical gray squirrel. The air smelled so fresh and clean! Thankfully, there was a little breeze to help cool us off. When stopped to have our snack, we had the privilege of spotting 2 white tailed deer. We watched them walk up the side of the small mountain and disappear into trees as other riders approached. We were so excited. You would of thought we had never seen deer before!
