[DVBC] Saturday morning ride

[Doug Bower]

Terry,

The part of the trail you are talking about (west of Betzwood) usually
doesn't have the same problem with freezing water across the trail.  I
would only be concerned if you are trying to ride to Philly along the
trail East of Conshohocken.  Although anytime you see water this time of
the year be very careful because there could be ice underneath.  

Doug

Is it paved from Lower Perkiomen Valley Park in Oaks to Central
Perkiomen Valley Park in Schwenksville? I'm leading an SCU ride at 9:30
on Sat., I was going to go down to Spring Mill, but you say it might
stll have ice? Last week workers were scraping mud off the path and
"blow-drying" it with leaf blowers.
