That sucks.  I used that several times a biking season.

The Struble bike-hike trail starts at the Duck Pond in Downingtown and goes
for about 3 miles.  You can get to 282 - you can take trails that branch off
of it and get to many other places to ride.  You used to be able to go to
the end, cut through a dirt parking lot and go up to Marsh creek ( turning
left takes you to 282).  Someone bought the old factory and the property -
has designated it Private Property - blocked off part of the trail (50 feet)
and access through the parking lot to the road up to Marsh Creek and 282.

 

I used to go to the end, make a left and then ride down 282 - that way I was
warmed up before hitting the rolling hills.  I will have to change my course
slightly.

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.

-Ray Sachs
