yeah, that's a good approach. I mean about a month ago I hiked the Bellow Pipe trail to the summit of greylock and the bellows pipe trail is a designated mtb trail and a lot of it is pretty beat up with bridges that are falling apart. MA doesn't have money to fix a lot of trails (who does?) so a lot of the trails these days have no maintainance, post irene/lee. So unless some bike club, like NEMBA, are taking care of the trails, many of the old roads are kind of semi-washed out...
