Riding Proud

Following in the footsteps of

yesterday, yet another distinction has been bestowed on our little state. The East Bay Bike Path, which runs from Bristol to Providence, has been designated a Rail-Trail Hall of Fame trail. According to the Rail-Trail Conservancy guidelines, the bike path earned the title based on its scenic value, high use, trail side amenities, and historical significance among other things. The designation becomes official at a ceremony tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. at the start of the bike path in Bristol, in case you’re interested in attending. In light of all the dubious distinctions we’ve gotten in recent months, this is one we can finally be proud of.
