We found a mild sunny day to ride the newly opened portion of The Bruce Freeman Trail from the Concord - Sudbury line to the “diamond” where the BFT intersects with the Mass Central Rail Trail. The trail, being new, is in beautiful condition with lots of signage and markers indicating points of interest such as original rails and other railroad equipment along the trail.
When we connected with the MA Central Trail we rode on that towards Hudson. This is not quite finished yet as yellow flashing lights and other trail enhancements are waiting to be installed. But it was a beautiful ride along the Assabet River Refuge, passing through woods and marshes.
We ended our ride where this portion connects with the Assabet River trail Returning to our starting point in West Concord we stopped at the Nashoba Bakery for coffee and a bite to eat.
