We had a glorious ride on Saturday -- a terrific way to start the holiday weekend. 15 riders headed out of Salem today, taking the coastal route up to Manchester together.
At the Beach Street Cafe, the group split for 2 ride options; Heading up the hills towards Gloucester were
Lisa,
Michael S.,
Paul G.,
Arlene,
Donna and
Sheldon! After a few miles, Michael S. turned back to head home to brew beer (!) while the others continued on to enjoy breakfast on the deck of
The Morning Glory in Gloucester.
Taking the Manchester/Essex loop were
Gail,
Carl,
Joan,
Paul P.,
Tam,
Ducky,
Drew, and new riders
Lucy and
Kate. After breakfast at the
The Beach Street Cafe, the gang headed out towards Essex to pick up Route 22, with nice cooling breezes making the ride fantastic. (Total mileage for me, roundtrip from Swampscott: 35)
