Pintside is a short, front-loaded mountain biking route in Massachusetts, set within Hathaways Ponds Recreation Area. It's an out-and-back ride of about half a mile, with the high point at 84 feet and the low at 40 feet. The climb is only about 26 feet one way, and the steepest stretch comes early at roughly 3% grade, so the whole trip is easy to fit into a longer day of riding in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Hyannis weather station put July highs around 78°F with lows near 64°F, and August is nearly the same. Winters are cold, with January highs around 39°F and a few snowy days each month from December through February. Other rides sit close by. Dogleg is about 0.2 miles away, Pine Lane and Eastwatch are each about 0.6 miles away, and Ants in the Pants is about a mile off. For time off the bike, the Cape Cod Community College Circuit (Unofficial Cape Cod Pathways) is about 1.4 miles away.
