Kpmb4 is a short, steep mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about 1.8 miles from the town of Lenox. It is a 0.4-mile out-and-back climb with a total elevation gain of 313 feet, starting at about 1,455 feet and reaching 1,617 feet. The route is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes within the first 0.12 miles, with a grade of 19 percent. The most comfortable riding season is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pittsfield run from highs around 67°F in May to about 79°F in July, with September easing back to around 70°F. That station sits roughly 423 feet lower than the climb's high point, so temperatures on the top run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by. Kpmb5 is about half a mile away, and Portugese and Po-Knee Up are each roughly 0.7 miles off. For time off the bike, Onota Lake offers lake fishing about 6 miles away.
