Hiking

[coeceo.livejournal.com]

So I've lived in Somerville for a few years now and never new about this great park just above us.

The Middlesex Fells Reservation. It has a couple of pretty cool hiking trails and a mountain bike loop too. I've gone a few times so far on nice weekends just to hike for a few hours. Thought I'd post if anyone else is alone in a basement living only through LiveJournal and could use a shot of reality/nature. Plus the weather looks nice this weekend!

Heres a free map on Fellsbiker.com:

Speaking of biking the fells -- anyone have any recommendations for where to rent a bike to go biking in the Fells for an afternoon?

This meetup group regularly schedules hikes in the Fells: Hike the Medford Fells

Yeah, it's a great place for hiking! I don't get there as often as I'd like, but I try to do so at least a few times a year.

I am somewhat amazed that someone with any interest in hiking could live here that long and now know about the Fells, but hey. :)

In any case, I hiked all the trails there and then wrote a brief report summarizing them that you may find useful. Here it is. (http://surrealestate.livejournal.com/451549.html)

Wow, thanks! I had no idea that you did this or wrote about it. Do you go back there much these days?

You're very welcome. I made sure to make it public because I figure folks would find it useful. (Some details may be incorrect since it's been a few years.)

During training, I didn't really do much on my feet other than run, but now that that's done, I'll probably start going back again more often. Now is a good time -- when summer really kicks in, it can get very buggy.
