Gonzo is a short but spirited singletrack ride in Massachusetts, set in the wooded terrain of New England. The trail is a 0.33-mile out-and-back, and its compact length makes it an easy fit for a quick session, a warm-up or a link in a longer ride. The route is flat, with a high point of 87 feet and a low of 69 feet, and the total climb and descent each amount to 36 feet. It's a trail that offers roots, rocks and rolling contours, and it suits intermediate riders looking to build technical skills on authentic Massachusetts singletrack. The nearest town is Beechwood, about 0.9 miles away. For a longer outing, Beer Run lies about 0.9 miles off, and Chugga Chugga and Dirty Dozen are each within about a mile. Climbers can head to Whitney Thayer Woods, roughly 2.1 miles away.
