As I mentioned, I got back to the Bedford Depot via Carlisle Center and 225, but on a future visit I would like to try a loop within the Woods. I found
this map online:
It looks like the East Hubbard Trail would be a good east side complement to Estabrook Road on the west side. I have no idea what the trail conditions are, but I hope to explore on a future ride.

I used to be fond of making a loop involving Estabrook Road out to Carlisle, and Two Rod Road back to Concord. Two Road Road is no longer two rods wide, however, and riding it is a bit of a stunt. Our abandoned carriage roads are real treasures, and how to preserve them (cut down that sapling in the middle of the path?) is an interesting question.
