Road ride
Welcome to November. Today we ride on familiar mostly quiet roads in Boxford, North Andover, Groveland, and Topsfield. The leaves will be falling as winter approaches. We may get a few more rays of sun on those shady areas to warm us up.
A casual but somewhat hilly route from Manter Fields in Newbury, MA with 30 and 40 mile options. We'll ride through scenic woodlands passing many farms, golf courses and curiosities.
Bring your own picnic (BYOP) for lunch on the lawn after the ride.
BTW: If you rotate the long route to the right, it looks like a chicken!
This repeat of the 2026 Blazing Saddles Gravel ride is scheduled at the request of some NSC volunteers at the 2026 Blazing Saddles Century event and for the pleasure of all interested North Shore gravel riders.
Plan on arriving at Manter Fields before or by 9:00 am. Our departure time will be at 9:30 am. Please be ready for the pre-ride talk at 9:20 am. Note: clocks turn back one hour at midnight on Saturday, Oct 31st.
