5 . The Best Mountain Bike Trails (小径) in the US

The Tahoe Rim Trail
Where: Lake Tahoe, CA & NV
Distance: about 165 miles

The trail is popular with hikers, backpackers (背包客), and mountain bikers, so don’t expect to have much loneliness. You’ll have views of bright blue Lake Tahoe nearly the entire time. Most mountain bikers do the eight sections (段) of the Rim Trail in separate trips rather than doing the full loop (圈) as it’s too tiring. Also, make sure you’re familiar with the routes because some sections are closed to bikers.

The Gooseberry Mesa South Rim
Where: Hurricane, UT
Distance: about 8 miles

There’s a reason why the world-famous Red Bull Rampage mountain bike competition is held here—the land is beautiful and suitable for big jumps and fun rock climbs. However, it’s not for beginners. But if you’re willing to take it on, you’ll be able to enjoy impressive views and a lively trip.

The Sidewinder Mountain Biking Trail
Where: Burke, VT
Distance: about 35 miles

Sidewinder is a small part of the 100 miles of trails within Vermont’s well-known Kingdom Trails system. If you love the feeling of a quick downhill line similar to sitting in the front of a rollercoaster more than actually riding a bike, you’ll love Sidewinder. The trail is a one-way trail made for experienced bikers.

The East Tiger Summit Trail
Where: Issaquah, WA
Distance: 1.5 miles

Tiger Mountain is loaded with mountain bike trails for everyone from beginners to experts, so you can choose the trail if you have a group of bikers of different levels.

6 . The best science books inspire a sense of wonder and make you amazed at the incredible world we live in. Here are four of them to feed your imagination.

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

How did it all begin? And how did we get here? Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read.

Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe

How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience.

Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake

What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language.
