What to expect: Scenic tour of the Merrimack River . The 25 mile ride will be mostly flat while the 50 and 60 mile loops will be varying. The ride passes through Newburyport along the Merimack River, goes through a nice bit of forest, then continues along the Merrimack River crossing at the Rocks Village and Chain bridges. The longer rides follow the river to West Newbury, crossing and following the north side of the river, then do a loop beyond Amesbury before rejoining the short loop. Very scenic views, riding right along the river for miles.
