"Cape No-Snow" - 3/3/11 - Crane/Otis AFB - Falmouth, MA




- Trailhead: Rte 151 east of Rte 28, over the small dirt mound on the left
- Riders: Matt, OMMB
- Miles: 7
- Weather: clear
- Temp: 19, but really didn't feel that bad
- Trail Conditions: near perfect, very few ice sheets, not a deterrence
- Technical Level: intermediate
- Wildlife: got a glimpse of a large hawk (or maybe an eagle?)
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: nope, clean ride

Notes: Jones-in for an ice-less, snow-less trail, I joined Matt for a trip to Cape Cod.  The drive was a breeze with no summer traffic.  We were on the trail before 9:00.  The loop Matt planned was awesome on any day.  Although I'm sure I slowed his pace on the big one speed 29er (the guy can fly), I think we both had a great ride.
 
Tidbits: Matt tells me that Otis is an alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle (who knew?).  Also, one time when he was riding here the Obama's, in their family vacation station wagon (aka Airforce One) took off from Otis.  Rumbled the forest.

Happy Trails,
OMMB
