and crossed over at the rice city pond into Wolf Hill , there we found somenewtight single track , and then weclimbedand up we went to the top of wolf hill. crossed ove into the West hill Dam.

here from the top of the dam looking at the west river



what is intersting is the west river eventually drainsinto Boston Harbor , where the Blackstone River drains into the Narganssett Bay ( Prov. RI ) yet herethe riversare less than a mile apart.

we then rode around in the flood plain area of the west river behind the Dam.

After I left Splat on the Tow Path, I continued on Ribbon Candy. Then I decided to explore the Badlands as well. Found some more nice trails. Ended up doing 21 miles for the day. I felt strong and would have liked to explore more but time was running short.
