Enjoy your pre-Blazing Saddles Century training ride with a Twist on the Best of Ipswich on THURSDAY. 

After a quick trip to "Outer" Ipswich on Linebrook Road we'll head back on beautiful Asbury Rd and Highland St then zig-zag through "rural" Ipswich and a bit of Hamilton before turning back to enjoy Argilla Rd to Crane's Beach.  Then it's off to the Neck for the Great Neck lollipop loop.  

It's a fairly flat and scenic 44 miles and can be easily reduced to 38 miles or even 31 miles by avoiding either or both of the trip to Crane's Beach or Great Neck.  

We’re riding on Thursday so we can settle for lunch at The Brown Dog!  Yay
