45 miles on the north shore, starting in Topsfield, going to Ipswich Neck, and back through Rowley and one other town. A perfect blend of ocean in the beginning, rural, and semi-suburbia roads. It was very busy at first, but once we ate lunch, and got out of Ipswich, it died down, probably due to the Patriots' game. We saw house with 20 cars parked in front, so I guess lots were partying.
This ride is pretty flat, save for 2 hills after lunch, but it did seem long for the last 10 miles. Perfect riding temperatures between 60 and 70. I was a bit nervous, as it was 35 this morning...
