Trail Description:
You start this ride with a hike-a-bike. When you get to a point where you can ride, follow the trail where you can. This ride is very technical and rocky. Don't be lulled in by the short distance, it will test you. There are a lot of drop offs & steep narrow trails on rocky formations. But the ride isn't all! There are some pretty nice views from the top. You can add to your experience by exploring some of the trails South of 165.

How to get there:
From Providence head South on I-95 then take 165 West. At Ten Rod Rd. Rt. 165, West of White Church (1.5 miles) on 165. At the Mt. Tom trail cross 165 and climb the rocks to the start of the rideable part.
