Took another quick ride this morning in the Willow Street area in South Yarmouth. You park right off Exit 7 and cross the RR tracks to the trailhead. The area was pretty decent with more rolling singletrack, but you never venture very far from the mid-Cape Highway and can hear it the whole time to you don't get much of a "backcountry" feel. There is also a lot of sandy doubletrack and wide sandy fields where ATVers apparently ride so the whole area has a more "urban" feel than Trail of Tears in West Barnstable. Still a good ride and while the singletrack is a bit overgrown, it's a lot of fun. The area has more technical riding that TOT but still an intermediate area, at best. A few hike-a-bike climbs (for me) and some great sweeping downhills. A good option and quite a bit closer to where we were staying. 4.7 miles, Crankfire track:

Glad to see you're getting out so much while out there. Sounds like some decent riding at least. :)

Yeah - I was psyched to get some rides in and add some new trails to Crankfire. The riding out there is a lot of fun; just very different from what I'm accustomed to. Home now...
