Bachelor St.

On Saturday my Dad and I went out to the Holyoke Mt. Range and rode the "Bachelor St." trails. This place is epic, and no doubt it is some of the best trails in Mass and maybe even New England. IMBA, has even built an awesome smooth, flowy trail that is as much fun up as it is down; the funny thing is the IMBA trail is probably the easiest trail in the whole place.

We put in 3+ hours of ride time and covered 15+ miles. That's not a lot of distance, but we basically climbed to the top of the range 4 times and each climb is insanely technical. The type of riding that wears out your whole body, not just your legs. My technical riding was pretty on, and I cleaned a few lines that I previously thought impossible. This may be a bit of a haul for most people but it is well worth the drive. Favorite trails of the day were Jacobs Ladder, Serpent God, Far East and Far Out, Missing Persons, Pete's Wicked Trail, Technical Trail and Twister. We definitely need to plan a group trip out here.
