City parks
I tried out two new
trails this week, both closer to the city center than the ones I'd been
on previously. The first of these was Sells Nature Preserve, a
city-side add-on to Strouds 
Run State Park. I'm afraid
this is the first Athens-area trail I can't wholeheartedly recommend.
The views of intricate rock formations were beautiful...but the road
noise of nearby East State Street was captured by the rocks so badly
that I felt I was walking through traffic.
On the other hand,
biking down the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway was quite a treat! Our local
library is located on the path and lets you check out bikes and helmets
for free with your library card. Mark and I took advantage of the
opportunity and expect to do it again soon!
