Ride Description:
Everything tastes good after a big ride, but nothing tastes better than a LOBSTER ROLL on a summer day on the North Shore! Join us for a gorgeous sea side figure-eight loop through Essex, Gloucester, and Rockport.
The route starts and ends at Woodman's of Essex, the mother of all lobster shacks. Woodman's used to only take cash, but they now accept credit cards at last. Even an old barnacle like me has to admit that some change at Woodman's is good!
We'll head out at 9AM. Ken will lead a 15-16 MPH group. This is not a no-drop ride, but other groups, both faster and slower, may be possible as the date approaches.
There is an unpaved section around mile 20.5 that takes you to a beautiful beach, but you can skip this by staying on the main road, which will soon reconnect with the planned route.
Note that there are no bathrooms open the starting point at 9AM. The Mobil gas station on Main St. is your best bet.
Ride Start Location:
119 Main St, Essex, MA 01929 (Please park in the large lot in the back.)
