Our route will detour along Central St. to take a 2 mile section of Route 1 between Rowley and Byfield, where the shoulder is wide and there's less traffic. This year's route also takes the bike lane on Newburyport's High St., and passes through Maudsley State Park and the Artichoke Reservoirs. After riding through the Governor's Academy in Byfield, a shorter option returns to Ipswich via Rowley and Rt. 1A, while the main route circles out a bit and returns to Ipswich on Linebrook Rd.
