The Short version skips Essex, Manchester, and Magnolia. Easy scenic riding in horse country on quiet roads, with extraordinarily beautiful ocean views in Manchester and Magnolia. Long loop adds on an additional 8 scenic miles following the Jeffrey's Neck loop from the town wharf in Ipswich.

What to expect: The short route goes through Andover and Tewksbury only; medium goes through Andover, Tewksbury, and North Andover; long adds Bradford, West Boxford, and Groveland. Although quite a few hardy cyclists braved the wet weather when Karen led the ride in April, she's offering her exceptionally well-marked route again, hopefully with warm enough weather that you'll want to stop in at one of the four ice cream stores along the way!
