Fred Griffin of Griffin Bike and Mower on Norwich Street in downtown Brunswick is part of an off road biking group in Glynn County. After years of having to drive long distances to ride off road, Griffin contacted the local officals for the Blythe Island Regional Park to see what could be done.
Griffin and his crews have gone to work in the park and have finished a 5 mile trail that you enter by the park's playground and winds through the a wooded portion of the park. With construction started on a second 2 1/2 mile trail that starts near the entrance of the park and 400 acres of the park available for trail building, Griffin has plenty of room to make this project grow.
"For someone who loves to ride, but likes to get out in the woods and enjoy nature, the trails at Blythe Island are a great way to get fresh air and quality exercise, said Griffin in an interview by The Brunswick News.
