Hi everyone,
I really want to do a ride on the North Shore. Earlier this year I did a charity ride around Cape Ann that wasn't too bad. And I tried to do another ride up there today, my bike map showed that 1A was a good road to ride on, I ended up starting in Hamilton with plans to ride all the way to Newbury and down Plum Island. But the road and traffic was so horrendous that I turned around after only 8 miles and then got chased by a crazy man on a bike for half a mile.

Can anyone reccomend a good ride up there? I'd like to do around 40 miles and would prefer no crazy men, but sometimes you can't help that.
