Blue Hills State Park located in Massachusetts. The park spans across the surrounding towns of Milton, Canton, and Quincy. Home to over 7000-acres of land. Both intermediate and expert riders alike will enjoy the trails of the Blue Hills. Single and double tracks can be found throughout the reservation, with many trails leading to various highpoints that overlook the Boston skyline. This video provides a glimpse of us mountain biking on the Ponkapoag section of the park. This loop is fun and very fast. The flowly singletrack and punchy climbs make for a great training loop.
This challenging and breathtaking route will take you on a rollercoaster ride of peaks and valleys. The Gaps has sections with sustained grades of 9 to 12 percent, so be ready for some serious climbing. As the ride progresses don’t forget to pay attention to your surroundings, as you will be experiencing some of the most stunning landscapes. The entire loop including the short 3 mile US 129 connector is 77 miles long. The southern loop is 35 miles and the northern loop is 38 miles. Each of the six segments includes crossing through a mountain “gap” or low pass, hence the name Six Gap. Four of these gaps are at points where the Appalachian Trail crosses the roadway. Woody’s Gap - will reward your hard day’s efforts with a long and scenic descent. The Six Gaps is a tough but fun ride and is one of my personal favorites -- take on the challenge and you won’t be disappointed. 230 Washington St Weymouth, MA 02188 (781) 337-7125 Please follow us: Facebook I
