Deb, I didn't think you lived near the end of the trail; maybe Newfsmith and I could meet up at your place and then we could go on from there... so far, no one from the city area has chimed in.
I rode the Minuteman for the first time last week. Nice during the week, but I suspect crowded on the weekends. My son said it was hard for him to find the connector from the Davis Sq. trail to the Minuteman, when he rode out to see us. I'd like to be able to meet him in Somerville by bike by using that connecting trail.
