On the 25th of this month I plan to be at the opening of the new Birdsboro section of the Schuylkill River Trail behind the baseball field in Birdsboro. The ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. that day. I want to ride the trail down to the Montgomery County line to see what sort of a job they did on the trail. The trail from Gibraltar up to Brentwood has been resurfaced and made wider in sections. Washout problem areas were paved with asphalt.

My wife and I spent a few days trimming plants growing out over the trail or hanging down low enough to catch heads.

With the high price of gas were are reducing our rides on the trail out of Valley Forge and now the "Thun Trail" has been greatly improved and very close to home.
