			"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! | ||

			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.

  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! Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 11-19-2020 at 03:36 PM.. | ||

			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.
