Join
us for a spectacular day of cycling along the scenic East
Bay Bike Path under the leadership of certified instructors
and members of the U.S. Open Cycling Foundation.
This almost flat, paved path is just
right for the occasional rider, with plenty to guarantee the
more serious recreational cyclist a truly satisfying
experience. Take in some of the most picturesque panoramas,
historic and cultural sites in the state.
Narragansett Bay’s shoreline harbors a
trove of fascinating sites and artifacts. The path includes
a mix of parks, woodlands, marshlands, ponds, coves and
residential areas, and just skirts a number of State Parks
See 19th century bayside cottages
and evidence of early shipbuilding and maritime commerce.
Dotting our fourteen-mile route are important archeological
sites of battles and burial grounds, as well as working
boatyards and marinas.
Arriving in Bristol, we coast into
Independence Park. A lunch break here is an opportunity to
stroll the waterfront and the shops of this early maritime
community.
A leisurely hour’s cycle brings us back
to East Providence, having made new friends and gained a new
appreciation of Rhode Island’s place in history - and excellent Bikeway System.
