PART 1 Owned and managed by the Paint Creek Trailways Commission (PCTC), the Paint Creek Trail is an 8.9 mile linear park, located in northeast Oakland County. It was the first Rail-to-Trail in the State of Michigan, as it was converted to a trail from the former Penn Central Railroad. Open to the public since 1983, the Paint Creek Trail receives over 100000 visitors annually. The non-motorized Trail is 8 feet wide, and traverses through Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township, Orion Township and the Village of Lake Orion. The Paint Creek Trail has an all-weather surface of crushed limestone. Many users prefer the crushed limestone because it helps the trail maintain its natural feel and setting. Limestone was chosen because it is an environmentally friendly surface for the trail’s close proximity to the Paint Creek, and it is low maintenance. The Paint Creek Trail is ideal for year-round activity. If you like to hike, jog, bike, ride a horse, cross-country ski, fish or just watch nature, the Paint Creek Trail is for you! www.paintcreektrail.org

The Truth about Riding Mountain Bikes in Wood or Mountain Trails
Riding in the mountains or hills or forest might sound really fun for some people. But some other folks who are non-cyclists think that mountain bikers are a nuisance!
This is because the tires of the mountain bikes will indefinitely leave trails. These trails can cause a few problems. Therefore, you will see places which have signs saying indicating open and closed trails.
The rule of thumb is you should only cycle in open trails. These are the public trails that are used by hikers and other people. Closed trails usually lead to a private property that is owned by a person. Generally, mountain bikers who break the rule (by cycling in the closed trails) give bad rep for mountain biking.
It is actually trespassing into private properties. As for the case of cycling in open trails, you should never leave deep tire trails. Some might argue that cyclists help maintain the trail marks on the ground, making it more visible. But the majority of people do not agree with us. They think that mountain bikers are irritating.
For the past years, ignorant mountain bikers are known to litter and leave deep ruts when they corner. This is why the general public tends to despise mountain bikers. Beginners also tend to skid their bikes, leaving even more unnecessary trails.
Another reason people do not like us cyclists in the woods or mountains is that we are perceived as dangerous motorcycles in the woods. They think that cyclists often invade their personal space with little warning. Again, this is a public misconception. Professional and experienced mountain bikers will always let their presence to be known to other people as well as maintaining steady control of their bicycles, giving a steady impression.
A good advice is to slow down whenever people or horse riders pass by. There is even a rule from ‘IMBA’ (International Mountain Bicycling Association) that says bikers should always give in to hikers. This is done by letting them cross their respective paths first because the bicycle rider could always pedal away anytime.
Another important rule is to never scare animals. Other folks might refer this to spooking animals. Some hikers are known to be bring their dogs along. Horse riders will also be present in the trails too. Try not to make sudden or unexpected movements at these animals. You could inadvertently cause them to behave aggressively. The same goes to cattle that are around certain mountain areas. They are known to injure themselves if they are afraid. This could be bad ethic as the cattle might belong to a cattle farmer.
You also do not want to purposely scare animals like wild turkeys, deer and wild bears. Chances are, these animals might attack you. When mountain biking, be sure to bring all necessary equipments. It can be more tedious than a road bike ride. A bicycle helmet is essential and the second most important thing is your repair kit. Thirdly, you would always want to have an extra layer of clothing or jacket. This extra layer can keep you warm. Mountain weathers can change unpredictably and quickly too. You might even get stuck in the jungle and spend a night there.
Mountain biking on trails will now be a better experience now that you know about it. But do read on mens cycling shorts and find out about cycling bib tights. Cycling shorts can increase your performance a lot because they are wind resistant.
