The Tail
The best part. Easy to open but still requires skill to get through it all
.



MTBM has created The Whole Lobster Roll badge for those who can devour all the trails in Minto in one day. In a culinary nod to the mecca of MTB trails Moab and The Whole Enchilada. The north east coast equivalent is the lobster roll. It's decadent, smooth, a little crunchy and can bite you if you get distracted by the wonder of its creation. Enjoy the Whole Lobster Roll You can only get it here.
