This is a general overview of some of the best of Beebe. It skips Anne Jackson and Barrett Pond (which are both worth doing). Towards the end of the ride, you'll pass the start point on the way to the Firetower climb. If you are tired - skip the Firetower climb - it's a steep double track climb. It leads to a view at the Firetower and a fast downhill (Fire Descent), but in my opinion DirtFish, Red Eft and Alter Ego are all better downhill trails - and are easier to get to.
