Beginning at the Hammett St. Parking Lot in Ipswich, the route heads first to Hamilton, then Essex and Manchester-by-the-Sea where one is met with the beautiful views of the beach at Kettle Cove Village and parts of Coolidge Reservation. It then continues to a narrow road that overlooks Kettle Island and the breathtaking rocky shoreline of Magnolia. The route continues on through Stage Fort Park in Gloucester where riders can take a short break before turning back to Essex and Ipswich. The last leg of the route is the loop around Jeffrey’s Neck in Ipswich before heading back to the starting point.
Lunch will be held at the Ipswich Ale Brewery, a short walk from the parking lot.
