Cbt is a short, easy mountain biking ride in Pennsylvania, about 0.6 miles from the community of Timber Hills. The route is an out-and-back that starts and ends at roughly 726 feet, with a high point of 756 feet and a total climb of about 118 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about half a mile in, with a grade of about 6 percent. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lebanon show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. That station sits about 300 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the climb run a little cooler. The Chautauqua Trail is about 0.8 miles away for hikers, and the Box Boulders and Shamu climbing areas are each about 1.3 miles off. The Fraggle Rock Trail, another mountain biking route, is about 1.4 miles away.
