A Scout Biking Adventure

By |

In October, Suffield Troop 260 and sister Troop 262 went biking through the Blue Hills Reservation, located minutes from the bustle of downtown Boston. The reservation stretches over 7,000 acres from Quincy to Dedham and Milton to Randolph, providing a green oasis in an urban environment. The weekend was beautiful, and the troop took full advantage of it, leaving camp early in the morning to get a jump on the day. The reserve was already bustling with avid hikers, horseback riders and fellow bicyclists, but with 125 miles of trails, it was never crowded. The Blue Hills literally offers something for everyone, regardless of skill level.

The Need for Speed

My friends and I went pretty happily through Bridge Street and Spaulding schools where, seated in rows of wooden desks, we learned to read. We started with our letters and moved on to those antiquated Dick and Jane books in reading groups with equally antiquated names such as bluebirds, cardinals and sparrows.

Our time spent with books was happy and stress free until we arrived in middle school to be introduced to the wonders of speed- reading.
