About 25 Mountain Bike Tours In Massachusetts: From Cape

Product Description This newly updated guide to mountain biking in the eastern half of Massachusetts features 25 destinations for enthusiasts of all abilities. There are many places to ride in Massachusetts' extensive system of state parks and public and privately owned reservation lands, but finding the best of these off-road riding opportunities is another matter. Massachusetts-born Robert Morse has been exploring his state's byways and trails for years and has selected the very best non-paved rides for this book, now completely revised and updated. Cyclists may be surprised to find outstanding mountain biking right within the metropolitan Boston area, as well as rides ranging from coastal trails on Cape Cod to mountain summits in the Holyoke Range. Each tour description includes a map, detailed mile-by-mile directions, practical information, and points of interest along the way. Tours range from 2.5 to 21 miles in length, from beginner to advanced. This edition features three new tours--in the Blue Hills Reservation outside Boston, and in Leominster and Erving State Forests in central Massachusetts. A new overview chart provides detailed information on the rides at a glance. Three new rides are included in this edition. Review Bob Morse had to do some serious riding to get this information. I am impressed by Morse's historical research, [and his] sensitivity to land access. -- Don Cuerdon, Bicycling Plus Mountain Biking Magazine I am most impressed by Morse's emphasis on responsible riding, which will increase awareness of the importance of low-impact mountain bicycling. -- Heidi Davis Fulk, New England Mountain Biking Association About the Author A lifelong Massachusetts resident, Robert Morse is an engineer by profession and a writer and mountain biker by avocation. He is an active member of the New England Mountain Bicycling Association. He makes his home in Lexington, Massachusetts. David and Jane DeVore assisted in updating this edition.
