Fellows Road, Ipswich MA

NOTE: This week's ride will take place on Thursday due to the weather forecast. 

Loosely based on the Tour de Greenbelt, the “Tour de Can” instead departs from the Rusty Can - a popular post-ride lunch destination. Our route passes  numerous conservation lands administered by Essex County Greenbelt, the Trustees, Crane Pond Wildlife Management, Baldpate Pond and Bradley Palmer State Park, Appleton Farms, and local towns. 

The Sandpiper Bakery in Ipswich (mile 33.7) is an excellent bakery/coffee stop to fuel the final 10 miles.

Lunch gathering after the ride at the venerable Rusty Can.
