Cycling Coastal New England Tour

June 27 - July 2, 2010
August 22 - 27, 2010

Our 2010 small group biking tour of coastal New England offers six days of intermediate level cycling throughout the beautiful North Shore area extending from Boston, MA to Portsmouth, NH. On your rides you'll bike quiet forested roads to historic villages, and ride along miles of rocky shorelines and white sand beaches. We'll stay at two charming North Shore Inns (in Ipswich and Newburyport), and enjoy delicious group dinners together each evening. Daily bike rides average 40 miles, with shorter and longer rides available. Van support is provided only when essential, as our guides prefer cycling with their guests.
