Jump right on your back at Jack Mason's Tavern, then climb a bit of back mountain road, then dive into splendid national forest single and double track. Take in the McGraw Trail loop, as ridden by locals, then bomb back downhill into town and reward yourself with a Tavern burger and Highlands-style handmade IPA at the tavern.
