Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Boston\u2019s North Shore is filled with bedroom communities, ice cream shops, marshlands, beautiful beaches, golf courses, small working farms, and small elevation changes akin to molehills.\u00a0 Along the shoreline, there are sporting and working harbor towns home to lobster boats, fishing fleets, whale watch boats, sport fishing boats, sailboats, and kayaks. There are infamous towns like Salem, Gloucester, Manchester by the Sea, and Newburyport.\u00a0 The Peabody-Essex Museum, Salem Witch Museum, and the Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge are all worthwhile visiting.\u00a0 Boston itself, with Old Ironsides, Boston Public Garden, Harbor Cruises, Museum of Science, Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, and the Italian North End, are only 17 miles from the hotel, taking 30 minutes in light traffic.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be hosting ETR 2019 at the Four Points Hotel along Rt 128 (I-95).\u00a0 It\u2019s adjacent to The Boston Sports Club where we can use the exercise equipment and shower after Sunday\u2019s ride.\u00a0 There will be room for storing bikes at the hotel.\u00a0 The hotel\u2019s banquet hall will handle daily breakfasts and Saturdays banquet dinner and entertainment.\u00a0 Saturday lunch will be at Bradley Palmer State Park<\/a> served under a tent.\u00a0 Routes will take us North from the hotel into the quieter areas, along lakes, farms, and through town squares. Friday rides will be a remote start to the north exploring the Newburyport and Merrimack River areas.<\/p>\n

This ride takes us on some of the NEWT’s and Joe and Kathy’s favorite roads. The apple cider cinnamon donuts at Smolak Farms are always a favorite.

START: Harry Lee Cole School (HLCS), 26 Middleton Road, Boxford MA 01921<\/a><\/p>\n

These routes take us into our regular stomping grounds. We travel through local towns, past working farms (say hello to the \u201cladies\u201d at the dairy farm on Dodge Street). Just before entering Newburyport, you’ll encounter one of our favorite Strava segments \u2013 a gradual 2.4 mile stretch of wide shoulder – keep an eye out for the \u201cbed of flowers\u201d on the right. Newburyport is an awesome place for food, \u00a0shops, and the waterfront. The long route will get all the way to Plum Island, a place in jeopardy of washing away one day.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

SUNDAY, Sunday, June 30, 2019<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

START: Gordon College, Ferrin Parking Lot, 255 Grapevine Road, Wenham, MA 01984<\/a>, (Gordon Police 978-867-4444). Look for the \u201cEvent Parking\u201d signs.<\/p>\n

Ride counter-clockwise along the Cape Ann coastline, through Gloucester, out to the Eastern Point Lighthouse and Atlantic Ave, to Rockport and back through Annisquam Village. The short and medium routes return to the start location in Manchester from Essex. The longest option continues to Ipswich before looping back to Manchester. The coastal shoreline offers many scenic vistas by taking short excursions from the route.<\/p>\n

Gloucester Harbor: Known as America\u2019s oldest seaport, the harbor has supported fishermen, whalers, traders, and even smugglers since 1616.\u00a0The Perfect Storm, which was filmed locally and featured the beautiful Eastern Point Lighthouse, illustrates a natural danger awaiting those who depend upon the sea for a living \u2014 storms. Between 1830 and 1910, 779 vessels and 5,305 persons out of Gloucester were lost at sea. The Gloucester Fisherman\u2019s Memorial<\/a>, located on the edge of the harbor, honors the Gloucester fishermen lost at sea, including 249 that were lost in 1879.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Using ETR Routes from Ride With GPS<\/span><\/p>\n

To load onto a Garmin or other device:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You do not need to have an account.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Go to <\/span>https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/events\/78453-eastern-tandem-rally-2019<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Clicking on the route name in the left-hand column (ie \u201cETR19Thur66\u201d) will give you an overview in the map window on the right. \u00a0Clicking on \u201cGo to route\u201d will take you to a separate page for that route, where you can read the ride notes in the left-hand column. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If you have one of the newer Garmin devices, you can use the \u201cSend to Device\u201d tab. \u00a0Otherwise, under the \u201cMore\u201d tab at the top left, you can export the file to then load onto your device. \u00a0(There is a link to help page which discusses which format works well for each device, but GPX Track works for most devices.) \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Helpful Hint: \u00a0\u00a0After looking at the overviews of the rides on the main routes page, right click on \u201cGo to route\u201d for each of the rides you are interested in and choose \u201cOpen in a new tab.\u201d \u00a0I find it easiest to open up all the rides I want to download first. If you lose track of where you were, the most recent one you clicked will be underlined. After you’ve opened a tab for each route that you want to download, click on the rightmost tab, download the file as described above, then close that tab. \u00a0You may see the \u201cSend to Device\u201d button (large orange button below the \u201cMore\u201d pulldown) change to an \u201cExport\u201d button after the first couple of downloads, as the program recognizes this is likely what you want to do. Continue until all tabs are closed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    To download cue sheets:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Follow the above instructions, but from the \u201cMore\u201d tab, click on \u201cPrint Cuesheet.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      To use the app:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. ETR has now upgraded to a Club account, which allows all rally attendees to download and navigate our routes using their free accounts. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Using a web browser, follow the instructions above, but instead of downloading the routes, click \u201cPin\u201d in the upper left corner of each route you want to save.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Install the Ride with GPS app on your smartphone and log in (or create an account).<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Under the \u201cRoutes\u201d tab,\u201d click \u201cPinned\u201d at the top. \u00a0The routes you pinned should all be listed. Click the three dots next to each one and choose \u201cDownload.\u201d \u00a0This saves data and battery usage when following the route. <\/span><\/li>\n
      5. To follow the route, click the three dots next to it and choose \u201cNavigate.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. To exit the navigation, press the pause button and choose \u201cFinish Navigation.\u201d \u00a0You can then either save or delete your ride file.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
