A New Tunnel

The Border to Border (B2B) is a multi-use trail which will eventually  go across Washtenaw County. Last November  they officially  opened the extension going out of Bandemer Park and goes into the Barton Nature Preserve. 

Such a project is complicated by an active rail line going across.

The new paths are cement and wider than the previous sections.

I have ridden on so many trails with black top surfaces. The improvement of trail creation has improved so much over the last 50 years.  These routes are used by walkers, joggers, skaters and many other modes of exercise. When the blacktop falls apart or is elevated by roots that ruins the experience.

There are several dams along this Ann Arbor stretch of the Huron River.

The water is still frothy from the dam.

Around the bend it looks much calmer.

Can you spot the wild turkey in the nature park?

Getting back to my starting point after a couple of miles.

Now I will head through Bandemer Park.

I like the way the canoe was re-purposed.

The spring rains and snow melt have rivers higher than normal.

What a beautiful spot to ride today.  The river was a great companion.
