Racer Summary:
very convenient from the city- right off I-93. a good place to get a quick riding fix and collect a couple of bruises- although its not enough to make you wet yourself. the mountain bike loop is clearly marked with red signs and winds throughout the Fells- and connects up with the *old* nemba course. some low to moderate climbs and some moderate rocky descents and techy sections scattered about. unfortunately the best parts of trails here to ride are on 'skyline' and 'resevoir' and are 'off limits' to riders, and clearly marked with 'no bike' signs- so watch out. and if you come up on a hiker/folks with dogs, be sure to slow down and say 'hi' cause a little frienliness goes a long way+ it's not necessary to scare the folks who just want to hike the trails and clear their minds. but when you get in the clear, let it rip and enjoy- if you get creative and get to know the trails you can find the log ramps and some rocks to jump off to get some giggles- but don't expect to blow your mind out. after talking to a ranger, found out that they are constantly, constantly working on these trails- so i imagine that most, if not all of the Fells will soon be off limits to riders- so BE NICE to folks and get evil when no one else is around....
the view from the tower is pretty cool- nice views of the city. Recommended Route:
??? -trails are fairly well marked with some small, unmarked ones branching out. the main mountain bike loop is easy and nothing exciting- but the in-between-trails are better. take a chance Other recommended trails in the same area:
Lynn Woods, HP State Forest

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Very fun trail. Nothing too extreme, mostly slight rolling hills with some singletrack (on the main Mountain Bike Loop). You can get some speed on a few sections and have fun hopping over rocks along the way. Some places to test your technical skills with rocky climbs and smaller drop-offs.
Its a fun trail, nice ride at 6+ miles for the main loops. It's nothing super extreme or too challenging, but not boring either.
NEMBA has provided nice bridges and other general maintenance to further the biking experience. Recommended Route:
The Mountain Bike Loop is a good ride, but there are lots of side trails and alternate paths to take. Just make sure to stay off the hiking trails! Lots of political garbage about bikes in the Fells flying around, so help our case and stay on the MTB trails. Not all the hikers are cool about bikes there. Other recommended trails in the same area:
I hear Lynn Woods is good, and some other areas up near Gloucester.

Downhiller Summary:
This place is tired go somewhere else like Lynn if your into "freeriding" or anywhere on Cape Ann if your more technical cross country. If you have to ride here though check out the other side near the hospital, some good stuff over there like the drop trail. Recommended Route:
Take a right into the sheepfold parking lot roll up your windows, lock your doors and turn around and head back up the highway to capeann. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Lynn Woods, Vietnam, anyplace on Cape Ann(brass balls, bruce and tom's, gordon college)

, from Medford Summary:
If followed correctly, the first half of this route will stay single track and once you reach the fire roads, use the switchbacks to keep the riding interesting. You can stay on the single-track trails and weave in and out of the MTB loop(don't mind the no biking signs). This will help to avoid the flat fire roads. Recommended Route:
Start from the South border Rd(above Bellevue Parking area)and take the single track bearing left until you reach the MTB Loop and take the loop counter clock-wise. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Lynn Woods rocker!!!
