WHAT??!! The Norwottuck Rail Trail has finally been resurfaced?! OMG, it's a miracle!!! That's right, as of Aug. 2014, the glass-shard infested portion of the trail from
the bridge in Northampton to where it passes by the Amherst Farmer's Supply has been resurfaced (and widened about 2 feet).
It saddens me deeply to report the passing of Marion Gorham on November 26, 2010. Marion was an inspiration to all who knew her.
Marion and her husband, Al Shane, were an iconic couple aboard their tandem bicycle.
Although this website is now quite out of date,
if you have ever hovered your mouse over the "Business Cards" icon at the top of this webpage, you have seen their iconic image, literally. 
Here is an enlargement of the image (notice the teal freewheelers jerseys with the white logo on the back).
A memorial service was held January 8, 2011 at 1:00 PM at the Leverett Congregational Church.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society, 163 Montague Road, Leverett, MA 01054.
Google Earth is cool! Here's a Google Earth path of the Canal Side Rail Trail in Montague.
Despite this news report in 2009, I am having serious doubts that the glass-impregnated portion of the Norwottuck Rail Trail
will ever get resurfaced. The project was approved 6 years ago, yet nothing is being done. It's very discouraging. Click here for the full story as
reported by Channel 22 News.
I'm in the process of uploading business cards of bicycle shops that I've visited over the years. Feel free
to browse.
