Today I went on a group ride that did a 31 mile loop of Cape Ann. We started out in Gloucester at Stage Fort Park and rode into downtown Gloucester, past the fisherman's statue, and around many beautiful coves, harbors, inlets, and a few "private" roads that hugged the shore. We cycled into Rockport, and stopped at the visitor center to use the bathroom. The lunch stop was a mile before the end, and since there was a long line and I had just eaten my Luna bar, I headed back to my car, with a few others. The traffic in the downtown area was kinda busy and the other riders were going all around the cars on a one way street... until someone yelled at them. I hung back, got in the lane, and was treated nicely by all of the drivers.
It was getting close to 80 when I finished, but the ocean breeze helped. Tomorrow is going to be 90, so it sounds like an early AM ride to me!
