<p> (publishing this in 2016 because I realized I hadn't done so before.)
<p>Was in San Francisco consulting for Wikipedia. Had some spare time on the
weekend, so I rented a bicycle and went for a bicycle ride. Rode the Iron
Horse (Rail) Trail from Pleasanton to Concord. It's a nice trail, nearly all
on the railbed itself, with very few off-trail sections. Was a gorgeous warm
day in California. Back home it was cold and snowy, but I was having fun that
Saturday.

<p>16.10 km 52829.47 feet 10.01 mi
3231.00 seconds 53.85 minutes 0.90 hours 11.15 mi/hr</p>
<p>The Cauyga-Seneca Canalway Trail is the Lehigh Valley's former Seneca
Falls Branch. It mostly runs alongside the Cayuga-Seneca Canal. It's a nice
stone dust trail. Not highly used by my estimation. The southern end dead-ends
on the busy SH-96A.

<p>Tonawanda Rails to Trails. I rode part of it in 2013, before the developed
any of it. It's a very nice trail which, although not officially opened,
already had many people using it.

<p>5.91 km 19378.60 feet 3.67 mi
1884.00 seconds 31.40 minutes 0.52 hours 7.01 mi/hr</p>
<p>A nice little set of trails, some on the trolley railbed, and some not. The
trolley railbed is buried underneath I-690, so the trail goes from the park on
the north side by ducking under the same bridge as the Onondaga Lake Outlet.

<p>2.96 km 9725.74 feet 1.84 mi
1586.00 seconds 26.43 minutes 0.44 hours 4.18 mi/hr</p>
<p>Not an official rail trail, I just wanted to get up on the railbed to
explore the bridges over Austin Road. There were probably two dozen tracks
there.
