This ride took place on 11/1/08. I came up with the idea, to check out the new bike lane on Blackstone Blvd,the new India Point Park bridge and the Woonasquatucket River Greenway. So Barbara and I headed out from her house in Rehoboth, Saturday morning at 9:00am. It was a little cool and we ended up dressing with too many layers on, which we shed as the day went on. We rode over the Henderson bridge and headed to the blvd. The cars seemed to be obeying the lines painted on the road, they had a real issue back a month ago, when they first painted them. We next headed over to the new bridge leading to India Point, it was beautiful. Very well thought out and easy to maneuver the bike up and down the ramps. The sad thing was the graffiti assholes have already been out spray painting their Tags all over the place. We next headed over to Waterplace Park and then underneath the mall to get on the Greenway. The stripes on the roads are worn off in a lot of sections but signage was pretty good. The new sections were nice, they were off road and scenic in most areas. We stopped for lunch at the mid point in our ride and headed back home. Distance turned out to be 33 miles.
