10.5 miles Blue Hills Mountain bike ride

FlatChuck and myself had a great awesome ride today in the Blue Hills. The map shown here is an APRS report, showing our locations when my HT was able to hit a digipeater.

The Weather was awesome, cool, and partly sunny. We did the advanced loop first, then Flat was like, "what's next". So we rode the intermediate loop next. After that it looked like Flat could do another 12 miles. But I was done. :)

Blue hills is a fun place to ride. I enjoy their 4 digit number system at trail intersections. All you need to do is take along one of their current maps and a compass with you. With their numbering system, it's easy to get a handle on where you are.

Great ride. Thanks Flat for letting me show off the trails here.

Hope more riders can join in for the next one.

Chia!

Blue Hills Milton MA Ride Advanced Loop (Breakneck Ledge)

This was my first try at riding Advanced Loop. 4.5 miles in 44 minutes. Lot's of steep climbing on lose trail. No single track, but the double track was still fun with bumps, erosion bars, twist and turns. Some of the downhills were challenging due to sand, run out, rocks, ruts. These sections reminded me of the power line trails. Replace broken glass and shotgun shells with pine needles and pine cones, but add the rocks, ruts and some sand.

Started the ride at 7 AM. The temp was in the seventies. I still used every drop of the 50 Fl. Oz. of water that was in my pack. I'm looking forward to my next ride here. I will know what to expect, and i will ease off the breaks on the descents next time. I also hope to make it up all the hills. I stalled on two hills today.

This loop is very well marked with yellow triangles. I never had to guess where to go. If I were to miss a turn there is always the Blue Hills Grid system and my map to get me back on the correct trail.

Blue Hills Milton MA Ride

Had a good ride today at the Blue Hills. The temp was in the 70s, partly sunny, with a light breeze.

I rode the 6 mile multi use trail. It's a 6 mile loop. Most of it double track, and up hill.

I completed the ride in 40 minutes.

I did not use cytoMax this time. Just water. My legs feel fine and i did not have any energy issues.

rut ride

same ride as last week. glad to have some trails nearby. it's good to get some quick rides in. Noticed these last few weeks, more broken glass on the trails.

Nice wx. Temps in the 70s, breezy.

Another Local Ride

Having to stay close to the home, i hit the local trails this morning.
Good ride. Did the same loops as last week.

I did learn quickly that the roots were quite greasy from last nights rain. I was going around the bend, when i hit the roots. The bike went down, but i landed on my feet standing up.

The tree that was down across the trail last week has been all ready removed!

The wx was a nice summer dewy morning.
