I think noone replied about the trails becuz they were out riding them. But yes, the trails are in great condition. The Cape has been a great place to be this Winter (for riding anyway). Otis and Willow/Bushwood are in great shape as well.

I called it willow/bushwood because different people call it different things. They are kind of 2 different areas that are all part of one big area that runs from Willow St in Yarmouth (midcape exit 7) out by the airport and up to Hyannis Ponds/Mary Dunn Rd in Hyannis. And EMS in Hyannis (great lbs imo) have now apparently connected these trails all the way to their store on Rt 132. So there's a pretty big area of trails.
The trails closer to Willow St (south side of rt 6) can be a bit more technical, and then as you run out to Bushwood, they're more flowing and as fast as you can make them. There are lots of single track miles to be had. There are trails that connect Mary Dunn and Willow on the northside of Rt 6 too, but some encroaching development, ATV use, and highway landscaping impact have gutted those trails quite a bit. So it's more of just a quick way back to Willow.
Let me know if you want to check 'em out either on the w-end or for a night ride. I think EMS is doing group rides as well - call the Hyannis store for more info.

This is also where some guy was tied to a tree and burned alive a few years ago.

I actually grew up on the cape but only ride tot and otis. would love to check that territory. I could be in for a weekend ride possibley this up coming weekend as I will be down there visiting my folks. I will PM you when I know for sure.
