Description: These are a series of 9 individual singletraks built by FOMBA (Friend of Massabesic Biking Asociation). Some technical stuff and a few small hills, but they are superb, classy, fast and extremely fun. Some of the best singletracks in the state!!!

Went for my first time yesterday. I rode the 3 mile Fire Line. This is a fun yet tough ride. Many hills and a few nice drop offs. Looking forward to going back and doing all the trails.

Finally made it to FOMBA yesterday. There is definitely something for everyone. As mentioned, trails are WELL marked and meticulously maintained. There are definitely two different sides to FOMBA - One side is rooty, rocky, and technical hell. The other is fast, flowy singletrack. The roller on Red Pine is no joke...steep, Steep, STEEP. Fire Line is a total technical challenge...tough climbs filled with rocks, massive roots, and some tight turns. Looking forward to getting back soon.

FOMBA is a gorgeously maintained series of trails in Auburn, NH watched over by the riding community. Every trail is marked with a length and name, and a copy of a map will ensure you never get lost. The riding itself ranges from rooty and rocky FS fun to smooth pine forest singletrack. There's a bit of something for everyone here, including the steepest roller I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to heading back in the spring!

I like technical riding. These trails are riddled with plenty of rocks and roots, including turns, inclines and descent. These are my favorite trails to ride.

This is a great series of trails. If you ride this weekly you are sure to improve, not to many tough climbs but pretty technical on the inner trails (Long Trail, Moose Run, etc.). The large rocks and roots keep even experts on their toes. Every short climb over many obstacles is followed by a short downhill with you boucing up off the saddle. Great trails for every skill level and a great training ride to be used often. FOMBA sure did a great job!

I live in northern MA and I still travel the 45 minutes to get to Auburn. It's the best riding around because it is so well maintained and whoever created the trail network did a fantastic job. Well worth the drive if you don't live nearby. Be careful of hunters in the fall (wear some red or yellow) and dogsled training in the fall / winter. Dog training is mostly on the fire roads and snowmobile trails though. Enjoy...

Great twisty well maintained single track. Worth the drive up from MA for a change of scenery. Extensive netowrk of well marked trails around gorgeous scenes as well. If I lived in southern NH, I'd be here after work throughout the summer!

This is a network of trails with something for everyone. It's where I learned to ride - beginners can start off with the jeep roads or the old rail trail, then work up to some of the easier trails, like the Sampler, Red Pine, or Moose Track. There are some good climbs and a lot of technical stuff. There's easy enough stuff for beginners, but enough technical trails to keep more advanced riders from getting bored. the FOMBA folks do a great job maintaining the trails and adding new loops.
