The bridge over 128 (95) was incomplete last time I was on the path. Also a bridge in Bedford is incomplete. Both can be managed however. I found Lexington to have a lot of road crossings, but all other towns were relatively free of this. One major pain on the day I was riding was a local Arlington sporting goods store was renting Roller Blades from a booth set up along the path. Normal bladers are easily passed, novices are completely unpredictable. Rob Fanning fanning@iatc.ed.ray.com
