Fifty is a black diamond mountain biking trail on Regional Agency Land in Maine, about 0.23 miles long and rated hard. The trail is short but punishing, with a total elevation gain of 218 feet over its out-and-back route, which means riders face every obstacle twice. It is a technical ride through rocky sections and root networks typical of New England's dense forests, and the short format makes it ideal for sharpening advanced skills. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Long Falls Dam weather station, about 11 miles away, put July highs near 77°F with lows around 55°F, while September cools to highs in the upper 60s. The trail sits among several other riding routes, including Buckshot about 0.1 mile away, Seven Bridges Trail about 0.2 mile away and T.O.A.D. and The Real Deal, both about 0.3 mile away. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders about 3.4 miles off.
