Little Blue Trace Trail
22-Mile Ride
There is a trail in my own hometown that I never thought about exploring. I have been thinking that anything that is worth seeing would probably be in far off locations. What I discovered is that right in my own backyard, there is an awesome, peaceful, clean, and serene biking trail that offered various views from old barn set in the open field, trails winding around field of trees, water views, under and over bridge passes. This trail would be great for fall weather riding to experience the leaves changing and the cool fall breeze. Some convenient features about the trail is there are ample rest areas, picnic shelters to benches through out the path. My favorite convenience was having a gas station, Quiktrip, right off the path. We stopped in for bathroom break and purchased food and drinks for picnic breaks later down the trail ride.
We started trail from the middle located behind Cold Stones and headed north. We did a total of 22 miles, 11 miles one-way from the center past Bundshue Road.
A great lesson I learned during this ride:
I don't have to plan big far away trips to explore great trails and have great riding experience!
Next time I ride this trail, I would like to explore the south side of the trail. I recently learned the city had extended the trail an additional 3.5 mile extension.
I hope to go back and ride through the entire trail and hopefully comeback to this post and include some of the views from the ride.
More information on the extension of the trail.
