Great ride today in the Blue Hills. WX was Sunny and temps 40s to the 50s F.
Rode for about 1.5 hours.
Rode to Summit like last ride. The decent down Great Blue was the same as well. I mixed it up a bit with some loops and other trails on the way out.

Great Blue Hill Ride in the Blue Hills Massachusetts
7:20 am start WX 50s, sunny and mild. About an hour and 20 minute ride.
From HQ Up Wolcolt Path to 1085 to the Summit Road. Then decent the Coon Holow Path left at 1082, back to the Summit Road, back to 1000 Border Path. The Border Path in this direction is a fun decent. Ride with Caution, there a other trail users, and there are many erosion bars that could flip you over. Then left on to Chestnut Run Path, Right on to 1191, bend right 1183, left at 1166. Here my back tire was very low on air. I pumped in more air and road the Eustis Trail back to Wolcolt Path. Via 1140, 1121, and 1122. I had to stop on Wolcolt to put more air in the back tire again.
Today was a great ride. I may have done more exploring but I did not want spend the time to replace the rear tube. I will do that at home this weekend.

Mountain Bike ride Great Blue Hill Blue Hills Massachusetts
Got started around 8AM Temp was about 33 F. Road up Wolcolt Path. Right at the start my legs were burning. As a result of this feeling, I placed the bike in the easy gear. Took a right on to 1122, then another onto 1121, right onto 1166 and all the way to 1191. Here it was a left onto The yellow multi-use trail. Road this system to 1085, then up the path leading to the paved summit road of Great Blue Hill. Road the paved road to the summit of Great Blue Hill. Now it's a bit warmer out, the sun is out, and it's a clear day. Enjoyed the view. I placed a call out on 146.52 and KA1BBU returned. We switched to the Norwell 145.39 and had a very nice chat. 73 Bob!
After a nice break at the summit, I road the Coon Hollow Path back to the paved summit road. This was the most fun part of the ride. It was very rocky, but because it was a descent, it was quite manageable.
From the paved road, I found my way back to Wolcolt. Before ending the ride, I did the quick loop around Houghton Hill. I enjoy Houghton Hill because it's easy climb, with more great views.
A great ride again. Thanks to the Blue Hills for such a great trail system.
