The Buang Biker was out and about this evening, trying out a new trail. And I learned it’s dirty little secret.
It’s the Hollow Creek Greenway. Hm, more like Scheiße Creek Greenway.
This 1.5 mile trail starts just past Nixon Park off Valley Rd. It goes from the parking lot, curves around private residences before crossing Valley Rd.
Then it travels gently, sometimes more gently than other times, upward for the mile and a half. It’s slightly loose gravel. Not great for the hybrid tires on my Tern Joe. But I coped.
Thing is, it smelled a little ripe. I just attributed it to the fetid humid conditions prevailing at the time. And I thought it a little odd that there were a few sanitary sewer covers along the trail. Then a mile in I learned the secret.
The Springfield Township waste water treatment facility sits along the trail. And while taking my picture, the facility took a dump. Huge rush of water came out of a strategically cloaked pipe under the building.
Clever.
The rest of the ride up was less ripe. The ride back was nicely downhill.
It’s good walking trail. Not enough trail for biking unless it’s for little kids.
And remember: always wear your helmet!
