Member  1748     Exton, PA |  Subject: SRT conditions???Did anyone ride the SRT lately? I'm thinking about riding next Sunday, but with the condition of the roads I'm afraid the SRT might be really bad! Anyone know what kind of condition it is in? |

Between Betzwood and Norristown there were enough long sections of packed-down, still-frozen ice/snow that I had to walk, or at least unclip and "scoot" the bike. At the first road corssing after Norristown train station, the trail was completely shut down for construction so I ended up riding back up to the train station and taking DeKalb Street over to Bridgeport, and riding roads through KoP back to Betzwood. |

I would think with the warmer weather this week it should get pretty clear. I'll look on Thursday at lunch and tell you what this area is like. Siri, remind me to look on Thursday. |

Extreme Veteran 614 | Subject: RE: SRT conditions??? The sign on the big construction fence across the trail just said "Spring 2014", with no date. The sign also had a map that looked like it's blocked as far east as Ross Street, which is the street that passes under the RR tracks next to the sewage treatment plant. |

Good to know, guess I'll ignore the SRT for awhile. |

Extreme Veteran 614 | Subject: RE: SRT conditions??? The trail is now (somewhat) open again. There's still some ongoing construction on the railroad trestle next to the sewage plant which means a short walk (~50 yards) up/down a gravel incline to the base of the trestle. Other than that, it's all rideable. |

Hey Brian, what are they doing down on the river at the end of the trail? It looks like, or at least from the road doing 60 mph, that they might be extending the trail? or is it some other use of our tax dollars at work? |

No clue, I decided River Road and biking through Conshy was a better idea. Where would they extend the trail to? That part is just a repair. |

Veteran 485 | Subject: RE: SRT conditions??? That's it. I was hoping that's what they were doing when I saw the forms going in. |

The flooding is incredible. My friend sent pictures of the staircases going down to the trail between Market and Locus,and they end in water. That being said, what's already done is nice, and it will be even nicer when it's all completed. |
