The 2026 Spring Picnic Ride offers three route options of 27, 37 and 46 miles. All routes run south from the Pines Recreation Area in Groveland and include many of the scenic backroads in Georgetown, Rowley, Boxford, Topsfield and North Andover that are familiar to NSC Saturday Fitness riders. The longer route continues further west making a loop thorough Bradford. Starting times are staggered as follows to bring everyone back to the picnic area around the same time.
46 mile - 8:30 AM
37 mile - 9:00 AM
27 mile - 9:30 AM
Many thanks to the members of the Fun Committee who always put on a great picnic.
Restroom facilities are very limited along the route. There is a port-a-potty on the Topsfield rail trail slightly off the route that can be accessed from Main St. at the Topsfield Plaza.
