We started just outside of Houston at the iron bridge on a warm, muggy Saturday. Ted’s sister Joan and husband, Patrick joined us with their new Easy Rider recumbent bikes. The trail meanders through woods along the river as well as through fields.

The trail through Rushford, also was not complete, but it is fairly easy to find your way through the town. The original Train Depot is being used as a trailhead (parking is available here). There are other historical buildings here as well. Peterson is another small town the trail runs through.

We rode through a heavy rain between Peterson and Whalan. Knowing that pie was waiting for us at the “World Famous Pie” shop, we kept riding. They also have sandwiches, but the pies are all home-made and there are usually many wonderful choices. After filling our tummies, and drying out a bit, we headed back. We stopped in Peterson for a quick picture break on our way back. Notice Patrick’s stripe - fenders will be the next addition to Joan and Patrick’s bikes.
