- Notes: First time riding at Massasoit State Park for OMMB. Started off on a steep climb (Peter something trail). Unless you veer off the main double track trails, not too technical. A good place for a break in ride, or if you wish to work on your skills you can break off the main trail to some gnarly single track. But be prepared to walk, there's a lot of steep ups and downs. There's a crazy steep area used by quads...be fun to watch that! Some great places to stop and view the lakes. All in all, the real fun part of the place was a nice long single back to the parking lot (blue trail).

Tidbits: Happy Birthday to Swee-D! Happy Half Birthday to Swee-T!

Happy Trails,

OMMB
