Northampton Bikeway: The bike ride took us in and around Northampton, Massachusetts, on a 25 mile rail trail tour escorted by Craig DellaPenna. It was a leisurely, narrated bicycle tour of the existing and future rail trail network that radiates from Northampton demonstrating their place in the community.
