If you're down for longer trail rides, the Minuteman Trail, starting up by Alewife is a lot of fun!

That's entirely paved, isn't it? How far do I need to go for an unpaved trail?

Yeah, entirely paved. If you go a couple blocks past the Bedford end of the trail, you'll get to the Reformatory Branch trail, which is a mix of single track, double track, and gravel. It's delightful, and ends in Concord.

Edit: lolz, spelling

The Minuteman goes through Arlington and Lexington to Bedford, which is approximately 10 miles from Alewife.

There a lot of unpaved sections and loops around the Charles, Fresh Pond, the reservoir near BC, the mystic lakes in winchester, etc. There are gravel and mountain bikable paths through the Fells and Blue Hills.

In Danvers, there's a rail-trail that's all unpaved and runs for about 5 miles.
