Fifty is a mountain biking route in Maine, about 2.7 miles from the town of Carrabassett. It is an out-and-back ride of about 3.5 miles, with a total climb of 758 feet and a high point of 1,994 feet. The route is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes early on, with a 14% grade at about 0.26 miles. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Long Falls Dam show July highs around 77°F and lows near 55°F, though that station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. The route sits close to several other rides and trails. The Highland Connector is just 0.2 miles away, and The Real Deal and Hurricane Knoll are each about 0.4 miles off. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders roughly 2.7 miles away.
