Day 3 - Manchester by the Sea - 25 bicycle miles


Gordz showing off his Pirate's grin at Singing Beach, Manchester

Singing Beach was surprisingly quiet (and nice)
A cruise ship entering Gloucester harbor? Seemed out of place in this fishing town.

At Gloucester, we saw this 'ElliptiGO' bicycle (foreground).  The rider stands up-almost like running-on this elliptical powered bike.   Later, as we were riding over to Essex, the dude blew by us!  It works!

Gordz had taken a kayak out to an island (behind him) in Gloucester another day


 If you've ever had their fried clams, you know why the sun rises and sets on Woodman's in Essex.  And the  delicious aroma wafted through the entire town!

 Too tired to even smile at the end of the day-the old man looks ready to collapse!

The Black Crow Bakery bakes really wicked good cookies and genuine wholesome breads.
Litchfielders don't just mosey around.  The town fathers had to post a speed limit on this ATM.
Litchfield is a tres avant-garde community where local artists display their creations for free.
Potter's field is in Litchfield, too.  (Well, Potters Brook...)
Welcome to Purgatory.  Last ride was in Satan's Kingdom.  What'd I do?
So far...Sooo Good.  Awesome ice cream and Litchfield's premier attraction!
The Country S ore does a really big business despite it's name.
People come from all around to Litchfield's own Tractor Mile!
Even the side roads in Litchfield are safe and well posted!
