John Wood Montgomery County's Open Space Planner announced yesterday that the opening day for the Schuylkill River Trail/Perkiomen Trail connection will be Saturday June 1. In time for the Bicycle Coalition's Freedom Valley Bike Ride on June 16.
How can you tell which trail you are on - The Schuylkill River Trail will be paved and the Perkiomen Trail will be gravel. Note that there is a chance that paving migh not be completed for the FVBR. If paving is finished by June 16 the Freedom Valley Bike Ride will join the SRT at Lower Perkiomen Valley Park at Egypt Rd in Oaks. Otherwise hybrids and mtb's can explore the new trail while road cyclists will continue to follow the road route to Valley Forge. An update on the status of the surface will be issued before the ride. To find out more about the Perkiomen Trail along with a map of the new section go to http://www.montcopa.org/parks/perkiomentrail/default.htm ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the Bicycle Coalition of the Delaware Valley list named "bike."
