DEVOU PARK TRAILS FULL OF GHOSTS!
...and other monsters. This Saturday (Oct 29) is the Devou Park Trails Back Country Bonanza, an event geared toward the athletic and families. From the website:
The trails are designed, built, and maintained by a joint partnership with the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association, (KyMBA) and the Cincinnati Off Road Alliance, (CORA) under the direction of the City of Covington. The trails are for Hikers, Trail runners, and Off Road Cyclists. The trails are being constructed in accordance with the International Mountain Bike Association Trail Building Standards.
This looks like an amazing event at these new trails. With that development and the proposed Riverfront Commons and the Licking Greenway project, this town could be a hub of athleticism and outdoor activities. Finally.
