My wife and I walk regularly from Colchester down to about Staniford Rd, and that's all clear. Someone else mentioned the causeway, and I would be surprised if there weren't a little damage. Haven't tried to walk it at all since last fall, though.

Damage? I’ve not been up that way in a bit, what damage?

A bit of basic frost damage and erosion. Not sure how much is winter and how much is fall and spring. It just needs a bit of regular maintenance, always had since they "finished" it. You can probably ride it on a regular bike, just keep you eyes open.

I rode it many years back, when it was all grassed over and there was a really narrow trail. The grass kept everything anchored and it didn't erode. The finished trail opened it up to that.

I was out on the Causeway yesterday, and it’s in great shape.

Glad to hear that. Sometimes it's been a bit rough in spring, this must have been an easy off-season.
