Highlights include:

  • Riding by the Mystic Lakes and Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield
  • Rolling through the paved road in Harold Parker State Forest in Andover
  • A lunch stop in Dover, NH (which also has a bike shop and an Amtrak station in case you have to bail)
  • Some cool smooth gravel paths as you approach Portland
  • Riding in three different states in one day
  • Nachos and beers at the end, you earned ‘em
