T.O.A.D. is a 0.48-mile out-and-back mountain biking trail on Regional Agency Land in Maine, about half a mile from the trailhead. It's a short ride with a total climb of 213 feet, so the one-way gain is about 100 feet. The trail is rated moderate and is best suited for riders with blue square skills who want to work on technical terrain in a compact format. The route is a mix of natural trail elements and varied challenges, and it packs rooty, rocky conditions into its short length. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.28 miles in, with an 8% grade. The trail works well as a standalone session or as part of a larger network of nearby rides. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Long Falls Dam weather station, about 11 miles away, show July highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Several other trails sit close by. Fifty is about 0.1 mile away, and Seven Bridges Trail and The Real Deal are each about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders about 3 miles away.
