thanks Kelly

after basically having no weekends the entire Spring semester I try to catch up now, even with my summer classes.
And you can imagine how bad it can be for an outdoor lover to be basically grounded. :x

anyone ever biked one of the mountain bike trails in the park?
I'm heading back this weekend for more bouldering and biking. ;)

Any of the trails in the Art Roscoe cross country ski area are great for mountain biking. I've done the Sweetwater, Leonard Run and Christian Hollow loops. AVOID Snowsnake Run unless you want a lot of punishing ups an downs. If you have the option to leave a car down at Red House Lake, Patterson Trail is fun. It starts at Summit and follows an old railroad grade all the way down to the lake. 3 miles. Lotsa fun.

so, I'm back and I did a lot of the trails at Art Roscoe ski area. But with 93F and high humidity is was a bit insane.
One day I did Sweetwater and Christian Hollow, the next day I did parts of Patterson and then Ridgerun.
I will definitely bike again - in cooler temperatures

I spent again a few days at Allegany SP, hanging around my campsite, or biking and exploring the area.
