This year at a teen camp my wife runs I recently discovered, well I should say rediscovered a hobby/joy/passion or whatever you want to call it:  mountain biking.  I had forgotten how much fun riding a bike is.  I brought my old Schwinn and rode up and down every hill in the camp ground.  When we got home I started to look for trails around where I live in Watertown, New York.  As it turns out, I live right next the local mecca of trails:  Thompson Park.  For the last week and a half I’ve been riding several of the trails that crisscross the public park that I’ve been going to for five years.  Honestly, I feel a little silly that I never knew they existed!

Each time that I go up there I spend at least an hour straight, riding the trail loops.  I could even more easily stay up there for three more hours.  There are trails of varying difficulties, from beginer to advanced, and all of them are well maintained.  If you live in the Watertown area, get your bike and head up there!

So if you can’t find me or reach me on my cell, it means that I’m out riding the trails…at least until the snow starts to fall.
