i've biked trails in washington state, napa, sugarland tx, decorah...but this one is byfar, the best one yet!
two things: can amish READ? I've encountered a full-sz buggy full of a family last year, while biking the trail north of mcintire and yesterday, there was a breaking buggy (broken down) on the trail. pony unhitched, 3 amish boys...when reminded there are no horses allowed on the trail, as the new signs say, i was cussed and made to feel unsafe, because i'd dare to suggest they follow the rules. i've been training and driving mini's for decades. i know horse and buggy destruction when i see it. been out on primrose ave lately? there are clearly shod tracks and steel wheel tracks on that black top trail. i know of no bike that causes that kind of destruction or track. Ohio allows buggy traffic on their bike trails...iowa is not ohio. may i suggest that the metal posts be put back in place, where they were taken out, to keep this from happening? bike trails are put in place to keep bikers off the roads and safe from traffic.
second thing: is it possible to address the washout holes and bumps on that same trail. they've gotten deeper and worse, on the black top portion. please? ...

There are a few hazardous pavement cracks and abruption spots, but don't let it detract from the experience, it's a real trail, not a spin class. Slow down and pay attention, and...
