Thanks for the heads-up, Danny. Happy hiking!

So wear orange and stay on the trails.

Unfortunately, this trail is hiking only. And I like your idea of sneaking through the culvert under Wade Avenue (the “bike lane” situation on Edwards Mill at Wade was remarkably ill-conceived) but can’t picture how you’d get from Edwards Mill to the culvert. Maybe with so much fair traffic Edwards Mill will be slower and more safe? (Hey, a biker can dream, can’t he?)

Is that at all bikeable? I plan on avoiding parking and burning off some small portion of my fried-cheese-related calories by biking to the fair, but the 440 interchanges at Edwards Mill and Blue Ridge are always where it gets a little hairy, traffic-wise. That tunnel under 440 seems like it could sneak me around that nasty piece of Edwards Mill where the bike lane vanishes and dumps you into traffic right where 440 is unloading all of its auto traffic on to the road.
