Rides Greenway East-West, returns via road to start, includes additional climb up Coal Rd w/descent down McLean's singletrack, back to start. Can be ridden either way.
Fun, flowy, after-work jam. Some good speed in spots and a couple features on McLean. More MTB specific than you would think.

If you're tired of never-ending New England's rock gardens, constant climbs without much downhill ride this route! Plenty of singletrack, smooth and engaging and nice scenery. Sure there are a few uphills but downhill sections are pretty long and rewarding.

Little bit more technical than I was expecting but very fun and not much uphill
