What/where is the cob? I live close to nine mile so I’m always looking for other trails near by
I think the “proper” name as far as Trailforks goes is Grant Road trails. But it’s always been “The Cob” to me. Maybe @TheBuilder can set us straight?
It was always known as The Cob to me, and I’m very sure that came directly from Ken

Long time no comm’s 
howse y’all getting on?.. life has taken me away from biking and the trails (at least for now) but I’ll be glad to “officially confirm” 
the origins of the name.
It was originally called Flight Path because of the overhead traffic but I wanted to pay homage to the history of the area. The main trail from the end of Grant Rd. was the original road from Truro to Halifax pre-1840’s. So I named it The Cobequid Rd. Trail. I believe it was Mike Phillips that nicknamed it The Cob and it stuck… cool with me, I’m just glad people are still enjoying it. 
It would be nice if someone(s) would take stewardship of The Cob to keep it around and maybe put their own stamp on it … building that trail was a 5 year super cool odyssey and accomplishment and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.

I went and tried to go for a ride there yesterday, only made it a few hundred meters and there were some massive puddles covering the entire trail so I decided to go to nmr and try this one out another day. I’d gladly try and get out for a work day there
Hey Ken, good to hear from you, thanks for the low down. Hope you’re well and please PM me any time if you want to go for a ride!
