I really need to get back in shape and seriously want to avoid the gym scene. Bicycling sounds interesting and I was wondering if anybody knew any dedicated bicycle trails in the Mount Vernon area?

Thanks!

Not sure about in Mt. Vernon but at nearby Rend Lake State Park, there is a nice trail for biking. It is crushed limestone

Rend Lake bike trail temporarily closed for Youth Firearm Deer Season | Events | Jefferson County News

The Tunnel Hill trail that goes from Harrisburg to south of Vienna is also quite nice, but that is more of a day trip event.
