Mason Trail, Fort Collins
Apr 12th, 2007 (Thu)
A couple of weeks ago, NextNC (a weekly Northern Colorado publication) asked me to write an article about Fort Collins’ newest bicycle/pedestrian trail, the Mason Trail. Hence, in the spirit of investigative reporting, I took Carrie out for a 30-mile ride to check it out. Never mind that entailed riding through some snowflakes and a 40-mph headwind on a 25-degree day, one of only three non-spring-like days we had this March in Fort Collins!
The article is here (PDF, 467 KB). Also, you can check out these photos from the ride.
