Bob, Bob, Bob. If you want to find some trails, go up to Sugarite Canyon or up on the old pass road. The roads are great to ride too. Heck, when I left we even had cops riding bike patrol downtown. I rode a bike all the time...and not only had a job, but was also on the City Commission. Don't be dissing my old hometown, Bob, and watch out for them bears in Philmont...they have a taste for scouts.
