Trail Showcase - Milford Trail

The helmet cam takes us today to the place I called home in my school days, the Milford Trail. It has come a long way since the 1980's when we were driving cars in these back woods before the trail was created (lot of fun back wood driving in Milford back in the day). 
Also a place, unfortunately, for the morons to dump their junk. The dead refrigerators were eventually removed and a beautiful trail was created. 
Fast forward to today, however, and the trail is in a bit of a transition phase with the recent gas line update ripping out a portion of the trail. 

trailhead
The formal trailhead is off of Peter's Rd (Peter's Field) but most park at the YMCA off of Commerce and join the trail from there.

positives
Gas line update aside, the trail still has some great flows and works for all riding levels. The paved path is a short walk away if the bike/body breaks down.

negatives
Not really a negative, but reality. As mentioned, the gas line update has created a very large gap in the very northwest portion of the trail. There is a re-route but will need a few years to develop. Right now, it is raw.
