Explored the Blackstone Valley yesterday starting in Southborough, out to Douglas, and then back to Franklin. 65 miles on a mountain bike with plenty of lakes, rivers, tall pines and singletrack along the way. Upton State Forest, Blackstone Forest, West Hill, Goat Hill, Douglas State Forest and the Trunkline Trail were just some of the places we passed through. I continue to believe that if you like to ride your bike from door to door on trail in any direction, there’s no place better than Eastern Mass. . . . #mtb #mountainbiking #massachusetts #newengland #boston #blackstonevalley #mbta #bikesonatrain #douglasma #douglasstateforest #trunklinetrail #adventure #explore #explorationfriday #neverstopexploring #beautifulmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #visitmassachusetts #visitmass #bvnemba #nemba (at Douglas State Forest)

Bikes on a train! I and a couple friends took the MBTA commuter rail out to South Acton and worked our way back to Belmont via a mix of trails and quiet roads. Lots of options for cross country mountain bike rides in Eastern Massachusetts.

Still feeling a bit under the weather when leaving sleepy Chagny - so we thought we'd be really clever and sneakily skip a few days worth of pedalling. Turns out getting fully loaded bikes on an old TER is still quite the workout. No thanks to Mr. SNCF who assured us that, mais oui, pas d'problème avec les vélos.. bike friendly route, yes!
