New Segment on Loveland Bike Trail

The newest segment of the Loveland recreation trail has opened! This afternoon while riding home from work I was delighted to see that the newest segment of the Loveland bike trail is ready for riders. The new segment lets me avoid a major portion of the ride along 57th street for a much less busy street, and provides a beautiful rural trail ride among the cows, corn, and fences. A rancher was herding the last cow into a holding pen, ready to load into his trailer. His dog was running beside, helping with the herding, and I was riding a bicycle. Thanks very much to the city of Loveland, and to the county for inserting the crossing signal at the busy street which the trail intersects!
