Featuring more than 25 of the region's greatest mountain bike rides, this guide gives you a look into the variety of off-road riding opportunities available to those living in or visiting the Greater Boston Area. You can take a relaxed ride through the heart of Boston along the Freedom Trail; spin over to Harvard; or visit the nation's very first public library. Perhaps you'd rather strap on the armor and ride the steps at Government Center; tackle Dogtown; or thrash about at Borderland. Take a step back in time and visit a working dairy farm at Great Brook; see an artist's retreat/commune at Maudslay; or visit Plymouth Rock, the stepping stone for all we have become. No matter what your taste or skill level, there's a great ride in this book just for you.
