Trail directions/info, sort of...

Did the ride from Weissport to JT and back this AM and it was 11.6 miles and took us around an hour 35 minutes. That's with a flat, a few stops to rest/chat, and a couple of off-bike tip overs. There is one long stretch of a mile that needs to be ridden on the towpath because there is no other choice (and we put the hammer down on that alittle and turned about 17 MPH) and then just a few small on and offs to connect the various trails. The 1st trail (bridge trail) starts right behind the job johnny in the main parking lot. Then a little bit on the towpath until you cross the 1st pedestrian bridge then dive into the woods on left and follow that back into the woods where there are several trails. Eventually popping back out onto the towpath where you cross the 2nd pedestrian bridge. This is where you have to spin it on the railtrail for a mile until you go into the woods on the right, follow that trail until you get back out onto the railtrail and you have to turn left (back toward Weissport for maybe 50 yards) to pick up a river trail that enters on your right. That will wind along the river for a bit popping you back out onto the towpath. Eventually you pass a very high overlook on the right side and will steer into the woods on the right just after that. Follow that with a few tech sections off to the right coming out back on the towpath under a rail road bridge. You will stay on the tow path past the next Lock and dive into the woods to the right probably 20 yards past that last Lock. That singletrack will take you right to the sewage plant, hop across the towpath to the left for a short tech section and then a long rock garden around the sewage plant to a rail access road into the JT Market parking lot. Reverse stuff on the way back. We did throw in a steep access road climb and bomb back down for the "fun" of it. The trails are in excellent condition and quite fast & fun. I really want to GPS the place and then get some mileage/numbers/directions. I'll try to get more accurate trail directions/numbers and signage up soon. Best bet is to get a spirited tour of the place from your's truly.

Keep the rubber side down...
