Yesterday, Saturday, September 5th, we decided to complete our investigation of the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail starting at the Colebrook trailhead and biking west. Arriving at the Colebrook trailhead we found the parking lot fairly full of cars. We were disappointed thinking there would be a lot of traffic to deal with on the trail.
As we headed west we found that most, if not all of the people had traveled east because we found few people on this section of the trail. After 4 miles this trail ends at the county border and there the Conewago Recreational Trail begins and travels for another 5 miles to Elizabethtown. There are beautiful country sights all along this mostly shaded trail. The only distraction we found was that the trail is raised for most of it's length and this forces you to not let your mind wander because if you drift off the trail you will surely have a rough landing. At the trail head in Elizabethtown we ate our snacks and had a brief rest and then headed back to Colebrook. Once there we had an "interesting" lunch at the Twin Kiss. For us, this was another great ride.
