...All in all, we had a great trip as we combined the cycling with other activities. Thanks again for all the suggested routes. Very pretty country you have out there.
Thanks for your reply. I've done all the rides you describe and agree with your assessment. Rte 127 to Rockport is OK, though with more traffic than 127A, but I don't think people going there are in much of a hurry. A loop around Cape Ann is also nice and the western side is pretty serene and picturesque, with a nice seafood shack at Pigeon Cove, a hiking reservation at Halibut Point, and the cute little town of Lanesville. Maybe I'll do a long ride out there before summer ends.
