    We just returned from completing this loop and had a wonderful time. ….couple of observations. The state forest sites require booking online, but if your plans change there is no signal. With the exception of Bunnel Flats we were the only people. The horseflies are brutal,…bring lots of bug spray, Colton Pt State Park is first come, with a cash or check drop box. We were there on 7/23 and the only people there, had signal and the reservation system indicated all sites were booked….? Also, we looked at 7 different campsites at Colton Pt State Park that the tent pad sites were covered in dog feces…it was not fox. The forest roads were the best part….only one vehicle passed us. The paninis at Pag-Omar market were just awesome. The store sign said open at 10am, but the staff let us in at 8:30. Petticoat Junction has hot showers…25 cents for 3 min….4 quarters was plenty of time. They also have a laundromat..and sell soap. Everyone we met was very friendly.

    They are in process of extending the trail into the picture postcard town of Wellsboro, PA. Lots of Air B&Bs like Stoneyfork lodge, and small motels like Colton Point Motel along the way.

    I was sorry you had dreary weather but thought at least it'll keep the rattlesnakes off the trail. Then a small black snake shows up. Nice compromise.

    • @KentuckyCycling

      Interesting question. I keep a sort of bucket list of ideas going and I start my planning rides that I want to do early in the year. But a lot of where I end up going is influenced by a variety of factors including, but not limited to 1) sponsorship agreements 2)where I have yet to ride (unridden counties in KY tend to get preference at this point), 3) in the case of Trail Gnome Tours, where there is a willing trail steward, and I like to a combination of riding styles, including a bigger multi-day ride, like this one, towards the end of the traditional season. At the end of the day, I'm a momentum rider and I also end up going where I can also get momentum, so to speak, meaning that I can garner interest among my riding partners, have local cooperation, or resources made available that help to make trips possible. Hope that makes sense.

    I have a question for anyone reading this: do you think a folding Brompton bike would do okay on this path? I have any idea to park my car at Blackwell, and tow my kayak up river to Ansonia, then paddle back down river to my car. But the Brompton bike is key, since it folds up small.

    • @KentuckyCycling
      @KentuckyCycling  Місяць тому

      Are you asking just about the rail trail or the whole route? Also, what are the width of your tires on the Brompton and what is the tread pattern like?

    • @solarjinx
      @solarjinx Місяць тому +1

      ​@KentuckyCycling The tires on it are called Schwalbe Marathon Tire and they measure 35-349 width, according to the site I just looked at. They are the skinny looking ones, and the Brompton bike itself is a smaller framed bicycle. I got this bike when I was trucking around the USA because of its compact size, now I wanna use it to get my kayak up river for solo paddle. On this trip, I would not be doing the upper canyon rim like you did. Just the path along the river, then boat back down to car.

    • @solarjinx

      ​​@@KentuckyCycling Here's the tread description from that same site: "A Brompton with our Schwalbe Marathon Tire puts a little extra zing to your commute, will keep you going for longer, and get you there faster. Its LiteSkin sidewall keeps the tire lightweight and nimble, while the Raceguard nylon under the tread gives the tire excellent puncture protection so you can tackle bustling city streets and unpredictable terrain. The reflective strip feature improves rider visibility at night so that you can travel Brompton style anytime, anywhere."

    Can you take a Lectric 3.0 on the PIne Creek Rail Trail? It has full throttle if needed, but it doesn't look like this trail would need it.

    • @KentuckyCycling
      @KentuckyCycling  2 місяці тому

      See this page for their eBike policy. It looks like they don't allow the use of the throttle only, but ped assist bikes are OK. www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateForests/FindAForest/Tioga/Pages/Biking.aspx#:~:text=E%2Dbikes%20are%20permitted%20on,an%20e%2Dbike%20without%20pedaling.

    So you modified the PA Grand Canyon route (omitting sections) in favor of biking all of Pine Creek Trail?

    • @KentuckyCycling
      @KentuckyCycling  10 місяців тому +1

      No, we didn't omit any sections of the PA Grand Canyon route. Rather, we added the sections of the Pine Creek Rail Trail that the route didn't already include.
