Swamp Rabbit

I often find myself in situations that reflect a tv sitcom. The most recent incident occurred at work when, while trying to impress a co-worker, I said I was an avid bike rider. Now, although I enjoy bike riding I am most certainly not avid. After I made this claim the co-worker suggested that we go for a ride sometime and I smile and agree while thinking to myself, "CRAP!!"

So now I find myself trying to bike more often. In all reality I had wanted to start biking more anyways, this has just given me a boost. On Sunday I went and biked through the battlegrounds in Cowpens with my friend Mindy and the past two days I have gone downtown Greenville to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

I am quite pleased with myself. On Monday I did 10 miles and today I did 12 miles. The trail is beautiful. Along the trail there are parks, the Greenville Zoo, Furman University, and even a cafe or two. Part of the trail even has a special lane for runners made out of rubber track material.

If you don't have a bike but want to go check out the trail I have found many places to rent bikes including: Reedy Rides, Pedal Chic, and you can even rent tandem bicycles at Tandem, Touring, and Recumbent Bikes.

Whether you are a biker, runner, and even just want to go for a walk I would recommend the Swamp Rabbit. It feels great to get out there and be active!

(I'm also looking for anyone to go riding with. It's way more fun with company!)
