B&M is an easy mountain biking route on Forest Service land in the Pemigewasset Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The ride is out and back, covering about 1.8 miles with a total climb of about 168 feet, so it works well as a short outing or a warm-up before heading to other spots in the area. The route sits at a low point of about 1,754 feet, rising to about 1,851 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.48 miles into the trip, where the grade reaches about 6 percent. Because the climb is so small, the ride stays low-impact and comfortable for most riders. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station run to highs around 75°F in July and 74°F in August, while winter highs stay near or below freezing. The B&M route starts close to two other destinations: the Tunnel mountain biking trail and the Tim Nash cross-country ski area. Both are about 0.4 miles away. Farther out, Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, offers lake fishing about 2.2 miles away, and Cherry Mountain Road Camping is about 3.3 miles away for an overnight stay.
