For cross-country skiing close to Boston, Weston Ski Track is a great place to go. I've been here…read moretwice and already a big fan. It's very easy to get to, minutes from the Mass Pike. They provide the snow as long as it's cold enough. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the weather, so sometimes their other trails beyond the main loop are not in use. As other reviews have mentioned, it does lean towards beginners. For myself I'm looking to cross country ski for maybe a couple of hours at most and I don't go that fast so Weston Ski Track is perfect for me. They offer a range of lessons for both kids and adults and for classic touring and skating styles. I took a classic touring class recently and had a fun time. The day passes are only $13 and you can purchase them ahead online. They also offer rentals. Plenty of parking, very friendly staff, and helpful signs on where to pick up passes and rentals.

They provide them with everything they need to learn to ride: lift tickets, lessons, transportation, and head-to-toe gear. Last night was my first night volunteering at Chill. It was amazing. There's nothing better than sharing your passion with someone who wants to learn. At the end of the night, one of kids came up to thank me for helping him learn how to ride. It was such a good feeling. If you're interested in being a volunteer, than check out the website and sign up for next season.

The last 3 years have been on the North Shore, where I've had to (through gritted teeth and tears) spend more time driving and sitting in traffic. Over the course of this time, I've been in a LOT of bicycle shops all over the state (including trips to Western MA and the Cape). I now live nearest to Seaside. Being in Manchester - by - the - Sea, I expected it to be full of the typical douches with an added touch of pompous for good measure. However, I have ever been pleasantly surprised to quite like all the staff there. They're super friendly, knowledgeable, always eager to help, and there focus always seems to be on being a good business rather than figuring out ways to take your money. Due to hating driving, I decided on an electric bike, researched, and found they're a retailer of Specialized Turbos. I've owned my Turbo for nearly a year now and have had more than (by my estimates) my fair share of issues. 97% of those issues have been due to electronic/electrical issues - not really bike issues. These guys have gone above and beyond to help me out and keep me on the road. The warranty makes clear that the parts are covered, but not the service. They have really put in the time and effort to get Specialized to cover as much as possible (considering the number of issues I've had since paying a LOT of money for it). And they've always been friendly and super great about it - which is hard b/c I've been quite frustrated numerous times and tend to whine like a baby. Anyway, I really like this place - they're good at what they do and good ppl besides, which is really hard to find together.

After relaying a failed attempt at finding supportive and comfortable walking sneakers from Dick's…read moreSporting Goods to my coworker, she suggested I try out New England Running Company. I am so glad I listened to her suggestion! She was right when she said they take the time with you to ensure you end up in the right sneakers for your feet and walking style. The second I walked through the door I was greeted and helped by a very friendly associate. After asking what I was looking for, he had me roll up my pant legs, take off my shoes, and walk a few feet. By this, he was skillfully able to determine what type of support I needed for my feet. He grabbed a pair of sneakers for me to try on and walk in on the sidewalk outside. He was able to gauge that these shoes would be a good fit, but even offered to grab a few more for me to try. I was very happy with the feel, style, and brand of this pair, so felt pleased. An additional bonus: there is plenty of parking in parking lot. I am so happy to say I can enjoy my talks again in comfortable and supportive sneakers!

Upon entering I was greeted by the two staff members with a pleasant hello and the question of how can we help you today? Meanwhile both of these guys were clearly in the middle of assembling/ servicing bikes but didn't seem to mind taking a minute to help me find what I was looking for. This was huge for me as i've been to other shops in the past and have had the opposite experience. One time the staff of another local shop couldn't be bothered to look up from whatever they were doing to assist me when I was literally there to buy a bike... a nice top of the line gravel bike I wanted for a long time..that experience left me so jaded I took my business elsewhere. Long story long that was not the case with these dudes, and after helping me find the helmet and peddles I needed I learned a bunch about the owner Jake and head mechanic Ed. Both of them local to the area - their stoke and knowledge of the neighboring trail systems was wonderful and they even hooked me up w/ a shop water bottle - I've got a zillion bottles but who doesn't love free swag?? Safe to say I left shop more stoked on riding than when I walked in and fully intend to shop here again in the future. Lastly, the aesthetics were modern and major bonus points for the sick grunge station they had on!
