Coastal Lunch Ride [MA]

Coastal Lunch Ride

Every Spring I like to take a ride up the Coast and stop for lunch at one of my favorite seafood restaurants. Last Spring I skipped my annual group coastal ride for another venue, but this year we’re going back. Join me on a ride up through southern NH and out along coastal route 1A, stopping for lunch at Ray’s seafood restaurant, overlooking the Atlantic Gulf of Maine. On a clear day, you can see the Isles of Shoals.

After lunch, we’ll take a ride through Hampton and Seabrook, ending the ride at the Rt-133 Mobil-On-The-Run in Tewksbury MA, convenient to I-495. 

Meeting Location: Ride starts at 9 :00 am from the Dunkins, 788 Boston Rd. (Rt-119) Groton, MA.
We’ll be stopping for a break at the Depot Crossings Citgo / Dunkins in Hampstead NH if anyone wants to meet us along the route. Depot Crossings is located at the corner of Rte 121 and Depot Rd. In Hampstead. ETA around 10 AM.

Lunch Location: Ray’s Seafood Restaurant, 1677 Ocean Blvd., Rye NH.
Event mileage / Time: 120 miles / 4:30 hrs. (not including lunch) 

Registration/Fees
There are no registration fees, but we are asking everyone to register online so we have an idea of how many people to expect.
