Named in honor of our club president, who has a thing for classic songs, “Twist and Shout” does its fair share of gyrations! This is your chance to ride such poetically named roads as Stumpfield, Muddy Pond, Trundle Bed, Dogtown, and Pickpocket. The majority of the route is along quiet and somewhat hilly country roads, with a good refueling stop at Jones General Store in Kingston (mile 26).
Historic homes are a common feature along the way. On Willow Rd in East Kingston we’ll pass one of the oldest farms around - Fieldstone Farm, dating from 1690. Kingston was originally granted to 15 fortunate men by King William and Queen Mary of England in 1694. East Kingston incorporated some 40 years later.
Lunch after the ride at Crave Bistro, a converted 1850s train depot in Amesbury.
“Bike on, bike on, bike on, baby, now / Come on and ride it on out!”
