So I went mt. biking with my brother for two days and one night in Allegany State Park. Here is a map of the park. The lines in red are the trails we did over the two days. And at the bottom left is a legend of how long each trail is. One trail I liked specially was 18 or Snowsnake run. It's mostly downhill and you easily reach 30+ mph going down it. (Starting from the Summit cabin area) This trail alone was 4.9 miles, so it was a good ride. Most trails look either like this, that's my brother.(below): Or, like this(below): Every trail was wide enough for a small car to fit, but like the trail above, it was kind of shitty going really fast down the hills because it was only a skinny trail, with edges made of overgrown grass. So you either had to not be in the trail and risk hidden logs and branches or try and stay in the trail and not eat shit. I had never been here before, and when I reserved a camping spot, I thought you would have to walk through a trail and you would just find your camping spot. Turns out that the camping spots are right next to each other which sucked ass. We were this close to the people to our rightbelow) Here is a picture of the beach area(below): Picture of me in one of the trails(below): Picture of the firetower at the summitbelow) The firetower was pretty high, so I decided to climb it. Here's a picture looking downbelow) Picture of another lake, not the one with the beach(below): Another picture of a trail and a hut-like-object:I don't know what my brother is doing. Overall a good time even though it rained 50% of the time we were there. Two girls that were walking by asked us to play beerpong. Free beer, can't beat that. Then they mentioned something about going bearhunting which later turned out to be more like bear sight seeing. :? What we did was, basically got drunk, got in a truck with a spot light and drove around looking for bears. Never found any bears I don't even know what we would have done if we even saw one. All we saw was a shitload of deer. Pretty pathetic but oh well. I have more pictures uploaded, just didn't post them here: http://www.teamhaggard.com/tk6500/allegany/
They're not baseball spikes (I hate baseball), they're soccer cleats and they're for traction. A. so my feet won't slip off my pedals, B. for certain hills that can't be climbed, I'll get off my bike and walk it up, can't slip in the mud that way.
