If you know where to pick it up again, the Charles River path continues
out to Waltham. Been about 5 years but I recall it was a fairly short
(less than a mile) break between the end of the new path and old path at
Bridge street in Watertown. They where supposed to connect that break
too, not sure if its been completed. The new path was always almost
completely empty of bike traffic, possibly because it's tough to get up
any speed on it, lots of sharp corners. It's still unknown to many folks
apparently.
