North Shore fall colors

The Stone Wall Ride is a beautiful fall ride as the brilliant fall colors complement the stone walls all along the 26 mile route.  The beginning of the ride uses roads in Hamilton that we do not travel on often and then the roads become more familiar in Topsfield.

There are no bathroom facilities at the start. Cumberland Farms is across the street from the 15 Walnut Tavern plaza parking lot.  For those who drive by Bradley Palmer on the way to start, there are porta potties in the parking lot. The ride goes through Bradley Palmer at mile 14.5.

Please join us for lunch at 15 Walnut Tavern following the ride.  An alternative lunch spot is Honeycomb at 248 Bat Road, a short walk from the parking lot.
