Although Prince Edward County Millenium Trail managers have used a little bulldozer to scrape the trail, you can see the large stones covering all but two narrow lanes.
Stones roll when bicycle wheels go over them, and, consequently, your bike slips.
You certainly would not want do a family trip with a youngster along on a bike trip in PEC because the child could wobble, and then topple over onto these sharp 3" stones.
We have had a trail committee for 10 or more years now, given just enough funds from council to cover legal costs, signs, fencing for farmers, and miscellaneous.
PEC - we desparately need you to increase what you give the trail committee annually so that they have at least enough money to do 2 kms of trail per year.
Call the person who was responsible for doing Wellington's part of the trail originally and ask him/her how it was done as it is almost as good as PEI's 275 km. of Confederation Trail. It's a pleasure to use.
Then watch lots of people use the trail, and see cycling-tourism increase.
