We have bicycled the trail several times, nice ride. And once we had a group of several motorcars ride by having a great time. The bike trail alternates between the tracks and along side the tracks. A fantastic dual use.

I went to one of their open houses a few years ago, it's a pretty neat setup, it was the first and only time I ever rode in one of those. The gentlemen I spoke to also said they maintain and ride part of the old Conway Branch from route 28 up route 16 where the Pizza Barn is.
