Upper Po-Knee is a mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about 1.6 miles from the community of Tanglewood. The climb is an out-and-back of roughly 1.7 miles, with a total elevation gain of 628 feet from the low point at 1,484 feet to the high point at 1,688 feet. The route is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.54 miles in, with a grade of 12 percent. The most comfortable months for riding are typically July and August, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 78 to 79°F and lows in the mid-50s. That station sits about 494 feet lower than the high point, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Bob T, a mountain biking spot, is just 0.1 mile away, and Lower Po-Knee is 0.3 mile off.
