I rode the Ohio-to-Erie Trail from Xenia (I actually started north of Dayton) to Cleveland in June 2012. I travelled the Holmes County Trail on the fourth day. (a journal of my trip is on crazyguyonabike.com) The trail from Brinkhaven to Glenmont is fine. It's a dual-track packed cinder trail that is easily rideable on a hybrid bicyle, and would be doable on a road bike unless the tires are really skinny. The west end of this section of the Holmes County Trail is easily accessible across US 62 from the Mail Pouch barn at the east end of the Mohican Valley Trail by taking a farm lane past a pair of red oil tanks. The Holmes County Trail from Brinkhaven to Glenmont is scenic, not well-used, and a pleasure to ride. From Glenmont to Killbuck you have to take local roads, since that section of the trail is not completed. (For more information on this section, and the theft of railroad bridges by trail opponent Kenneth Taylor, see newspaper articles). However, travel from Glenmont to Killbuck on SR 520 was not a problem.
