There’s another pretty significant reroute of the trail further north, around a new residential building being constructed, where the Who Song and Larry’s used to be. It has some pretty strong sharp turns in it and there are signs that say please walk your bike. I’m curious how long that one is going to be in place.
Signs say detours through December 2016
Where is that northern detour?
