Blue Loop is a short, flat mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about 1.7 miles from Boxford Station. The ride is an out-and-back of roughly 0.4 miles, with a high point of 132 feet and a low of 124 feet. The climb is nearly flat, with a total gain and loss of about 8 feet each way, so the route is best described as a low-effort outing rather than a climb. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Middleton run to highs around 81°F in July and 73°F in September, while winter highs stay in the 30s and 40s. Harold Parker Road and Acorn Trail are both about 0.6 miles away, and the Stearns Pond Blue Loop hike is about 0.7 miles off. For climbing, Wilmington Boulders sits about 4 miles away.
