Waltham / Westo

[Mike Beganyi]

I'm working in the Waltham / Weston and then to Natick area on a regular basis. Anyone have a GPX of that rough stuff route discussed here awhile ago?

Bike might have to start coming with me, even if I only sneak in an hour or two.

Preferred to stay in the woods if possible.

MTB or gravel bike type stuff appreciated.

I can tell you what NOT to do. In downtown Waltham I saw an abandoned RR which looked like it might be a trail and
might be ridable just north of School St. Well... It's not. It was fun for about 100ft but then the path along the side
disappeared and the gaps between the ties were too large to ride, at least with my 28mm tired brevet bike. It was fun
looking at the old switch, however.

Not local but I did some exploring along the fire roads in Rhode Island's Pulaski conversation area last week and that was
really nice. When I saw a hunter walking back to his car I was starting to wish I had less green and more orange.

Hi Mike!

Here's a route for that area: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5271018. You can find other variations in Pamela's routes, too. 

And this good local riding, too: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4909406

A really fun, shorter ride is to start at Rock Meadow Conservation Area, looping around in there, Beaver Brook, and the Western Trail paths beside McClean Hospital. That's essentially my go-to quick route.

Thanks Jon, I found those by trolling earlier threads...

Sadly, did not bring the bike. Have a deadline, and forecast was miserable up north...

Next time...
