Manhan Rail trail

The three is met at the assigned time at the trailhead on rt 5 in easthampton. It was a beautiful day to bike in the pioneer valley. We biked a total of 8 miles on the trail with not one but 2 stops for coffee. A delightful day with nice people. Contrary what I had heard this trail does not go into Southampton yet.

Tha Manhan Rail Trail winds its way through Easthampton, a typical New England factory town brimming with commerce and community, as well as historical and natural sites galore. Located in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, the original 4-mile trail as recently been expanded.to go further south into Southampton. We will bike a total of 4 hours Sunday. Starting at the bike trail's entrance on North Street / US 5 we will bike 2 hours on the trail and then, at the 2 hour mark we will turn around and make our way back to the trailhead on US 5. There will be plenty of opportunities to stop for something to eat along the trail if people wish. please bring water and a lock for your bike in case we stop for something.
