This ride is being offered in Newburyport, MA.
(approximately 35 miles north of Boston)
The Baggcyclist ride this month is:
ABS---------Adventure, Biking, and Saturday.
Place: Plum Island Lighthouse Loop
This is flat terrain with gently rolling hills of approximately
22miles. Weather indicates humidity with temperatures ranging 88 to
93. Hopefully a cool breeze off the water will help keep the bugs
to a minimum. Sunscreen, bug spray as well as supply of water is
strongly encouraged. And it should be great photo opportunities.
Families and friends are welcome to join. It is a social ride with
some of us on Bike Friday's and other various intriguing bikes of
all sorts. We will meet at the Newburyport Commuter Rail Station.
Parking fee $2 may be in effect. Plan to meet at 8:30am. and enjoy a
leisure ride before the temperature and humidity maximizes and
before the sun/beach families get out their chairs. I am not sure
what the schedule is for this time of year for the
commuter/Amtrak/or buses to this area.
Although on bikes, there might be an additional fee for entering
the Wildlife Refuge area on Island Road. Recommend bringing a few
extra dollars with you.
