Timeless tracks and trails of Belgium

The Hiawatha Bike Trail

Originally posted on Lookin' at the World:
Last September, I went on a 30 mile long mountain-biking trip on the Montana/Idaho border.  It’s an old rail-road grade that has been turned into a mountain biking trail.  There is ten tunnels, and 7 really high trestles. My favorite tunnel (and the longest one) crossed the border…
