Today I decided to take a break from mountain biking and road biked instead. I drove up to the rail trail that crosses Rhode Island and started at Summit and rode all the way to Anthony. It was sunny and hot but there was a breeze.
There were a good number of informative kiosks along the way detailing the history of the former railroad line. Originally chartered as the Hartford, Providence, & Fishkill Railway, it was subsequently absorbed into New York and New England Railroad and eventually swallowed by the New Haven Railroad. The section of the rail trail I rode consists of two segments: the Trestle Trail and the Coventry Greenway.

The General Store in Summit is so cool - like a trip back in time inside!
