Blackstone Valley Bike Path

If you haven't been there, go now.  If you haven't been in a while, go now.  It's beautiful and quickly becoming my new hangout for runs, it's only going to get nicer with the leaves changing.  We park in a lot right off 123, but there are a bunch of access points along the path.  For 6 miles today, I ran uninterrupted right along the river.  We were able to stop and scope out the geese as well as a turtle and some sunfish.  Other times runs have included breaks at the river's edge for some stick throwing.  The river along with a large field are perfect for 15 month old boys who need a break from the jogger.  Unlike the East Bay Bike Path there aren't nearly as many cross streets so you aren't stopping and starting over and over again.  And it seems a little quieter, that said it was a Thursday morning.  I'll never completely break up with the Eastside for runs but for now this is where I'll be: http://www.blackstoneriverbikeway.com/

Ran 6 miles and biked for an hour filled with hills.
