"Breakfast Club" - twelve/eleven/ten - Massasoit State Park - Taunton, MA

- Trailhead: Parking Lot
- Riders: OMMB plus 7
- Miles: 10.2
- Weather: sunny, calm
- Temp: a balmy 25
- Trail Conditions: frozen sand and gravel helped keep traction going up / some sketchy downhills
- Technical Level: fast 

Notes: Tracked a good ride with the Bikeworks Beasts this morning.  Damn those guys kill me...7:30am start, fast and furious from the get go, and all the hills they can squeeze into a ride.  Suffering aside, a good time was had.  Managed to track most of route but had to add the leg that was missing...see thin yellow line from top to right on the map ("click on" to enlarge).   Most of the group were riding high end carbon 29er bikes, so I thought that would be a good excuse for me not keeping up on the Kona 29er.  That was until I found that a 5 foot 6 dude was riding a metal 26er, and tearing it up as good as the rest of them...drats.

Tidbits: The lakes all had a thin layer of ice all the way across.  Heat wave tomorrow...up to 50 degrees.

Happy Trails,
OMMB
