Stony Creek is packed with faithful cyclists
on the weekends, ranging from expert mountain bikers to slow pedalers. There
are more than 14 miles of dirt paths, which include steep hills, gravel, tight
curves and pump tracks that take you through the woods and around bodies of
water. A favorite among serious bikers is "the rollercoaster," a speedy trail
full of such challenges as rocks and roots. Wildlife such as deer and wild
turkey can be spotted on the trails. Bicycle events and races are consistent
during the summer. You can even get tune-ups at the Stony Creek bicycle shop,
which is open year-round.
