Deb,

I'm not sure but I think the Struble is a trail that is north of Marsh Creek SP and parallels 282.  Ray Sachs is a former CHESCO transportation planner who is still active as a CHESCO cycling advocate.  I posted this message (from the CCCC list)  because there has been some interest in doing some bike/camping trips to French Creek SP and back.  His account includes some good routes to get there.  Maybe Dave.Land knows for sure.

    This is probably old news to most of you, but I rode up the Struble yesterday with the intent of taking 282 the rest of the way up to 82 and beyond. The first mile of 282 after the end of the Struble was so terrible I was thinking about where to bail out and do a different ride. But about a mile north of the end of the trail, the new pavement started. It was PERFECT from there all the way up to 82. This was the first time I've actually enjoyed riding this road in years - its a wonderful cycling road when you're not scared out of your wits the whole time because of the open seams, cracks, and holes in the road. 

    It would be nice if they'd finish it all the way down to Downingtown or at least to the end of the trail, but this is such a vast improvement that I wanted to make note of it.
