New Brunswick Trail

March 30, 2015. An old rail bridge near Salisbury. Against a brisk southwest wind I cycled out to Salisbury and then followed the 'New Brunswick Trail' across the river. This is an old railbed that split from the mail line in Salisbury and crossed overland to Hillsborough. The trail is not suitable for cycling; it is a mixture of very coarse gravel and deep potholes. Cyclists are actually prohibited on the bridge, for good reason - the surface is very uneven and you could easily ride over the side and into the river. ATVs own the route and will probably never let it be used by cyclists and pedestrians. Too bad. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1AG3ptf
