Me and my 10 yr. old son rode this 12 ml. trail.This was on 7/3/10 we both held up great.The trail is great for any naturalist.You see all kinds of wild flowers,bunny's,birds ect.The trail also runs past the Charleston golf coarse and also the 1/8 ml. drag strip.You also get a chance to smell all the wild flowers as you ride.We ended up in Charleston.We ate dinner then rode back.I remember growing up in Mattoon,Il and walking the train tracks as a kid."I think it was a great idea to turn that piece of property into a bike trail".We all have to take charge a fight for places like these.I THINK AN ALL BIKE NATION IS WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.Thank you
