Ive been getting into riding my bike again and have been riding on some bike trails. Id like to find some other local trails besides the ones Ive been on lately. So far Ive ridden on the Niskayuna/Colonie trail and the Rotterdam trail. Nothing wrong with those trails, I just want to try others. I know theres a trail in Halfmoon that goes into Waterford but I cant find out any info on it. Normally I like to ride 15-20 miles round trip. ---

Like mountain bike trails? Theres some nice ones in Schenectady Central Park that are nice and flowing. Then theres some at colonie town park that are a little more technical but still good for someone getting into the sport. Lemme know if you ever wanna meet up and ride I can show you around. Also there is the pine bush but I think alot of that may be closed till June ---

Im really looking for paved trails right now. Maybe someday Ill try the offroad type trails though. Ill let you know. I was in the Pine Bush a long time ago on the trails. Not a very big area, atleast where I went in on 155. ---

I think under 14 or 16 yrs old you need a helmet. I just wear one to be smart. ---

Yes. This is a metric century I’m riding as a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association. I’ve been riding my mountain bike on 30+ mile rides training for this, then I’ll ride my road bike for the actual ride that day. I’m doing a full century in August in Saranac Lake, then the triathlon in Lake George in September. ---
