Rough riders

Sam Keon of Grafton isn’t into playing traditional sports, but he found one athletic activity that has kept him interested for nearly a decade.

The high school sophomore has been mountain biking since he was 7.

“I just like how it’s different. It’s not a stick-and-ball sport,” he said. You can come back to it and do a different thing each time.”

Bike trails can change quickly, depending on the weather and how organizers set them up.
