"Open to hikers and runners" - well- that'll go smooth.

Cool trail- makes me want to go up there to try it. Get some gopro videos!

Sweet!

What is funny? The only mountain biking I do involves grinding up and flying down. On mountains. This is much different. I would probably ride my short travel single speed XC bike on that. It would be a kick.

Ride what you got!

At least it isn't open to horses. Yay. Horse poo in the face!

I've talked to a few serious mtn bikers about it.
They all said it is a very unique trail...they love it.
There are a few suspension bridges to cross and being 47 miles...lots of diff terrain.

It won't be totally done until sometime next summer...but it is open now.

Hikers and runners will be very few. We have many other trails for them.

The Amish are many in that area. They use the rails-to-trails. Horses don't like hills.

Yeah, hopefully it's far enough away to thin them out. The way that trail flows they might as well go jog on the autobahn. I could almost hear the trail organizers (ehhh - mtb'ers) pitching their vision to the powers that be "of course it will be open to everyone!!!" mhuwhahahahaha!!!!

Looks like it has good flow. 47 miles of flow should be awesome. I could also see that as a good long distance race. We get a new park opening at my house on saturday- 2 miles! - but cool in another way- will post pics when it opens.

Enjoy!

This section looks real fun! Each video shows part of 1 section...there are 11 sections to the whole trail.
Watch for the wipe-out near the end.
