Now that you have a mountain bike, make sure you ride around in the Intervale. I used to work at the McNeil power station off Riverside and Intervale Rd. and would ride through up to Colchester and then back around the south edge of Mallet's Bay over to Susy Wilson Rd. just to get some miles in.

If you want a really cool mountain bike ride (lots of road but the end of the ride is nice

), start at Old Stage Rd and Center Rd. Ride out to Brigham Hill Road at Pages Corners, turn left. Follow Brigham Hill Road to Brigham Hill Ln (about 2.5 miles) and take a right. Brigham Hill Ln is a somofabeechin' steep hill but keep going. When you get to the end of the road there is a trial filled will baby heads that takes you down to Indian Brook Res. Poke around there for hours of fun.
