T.O.A.D. is a short, moderate mountain biking climb in western Maine, set on Regional Agency Land. The route is an out-and-back that rises about 82 feet from a low point of 1,513 feet to a high of 1,554 feet, with the steepest stretch of 10% grade about a quarter of the way up. It is only about 0.2 miles long, so it fits easily into a longer ride on the trails around it. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Long Falls Dam weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F, and the station sits roughly 394 feet lower than the high point, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. Fifty and the Seven Bridges Trail are both about 0.1 miles away, and Buckshot is about 0.2 miles off. For climbing, Tufulio's Boulders is about 3.2 miles away.
