Mountain Biking the Berkshires

Ridges, mountaintops, mud bogs, fir forests, and autumn leaves create a canvas for perfect New England mountain biking. Berkshire bikers share the wealth in this collection of 27 rides ranging from Mount Greylock to Mount Washington and everthing in between. Just a short jaunt from Boston or New York City, the Berkshire trails can be as mellow as sipping coffee over the Sunday paper or as intense as running an ultramarathon at 11,000 feet. Anna Milkowski's experience working in a bike shop in Berkshire Country, advising customers of riding hotsports, makes her a great guide to the best trails in the area.
