Hi John, I'm in Bristol at the lower end of the E. Bay Bike Path. I ride the bike path quite a bit since it is nearly outside my door. I have been riding almost every Sunday with the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen. This coming Sunday the club has a ride beginning at the Lincoln Mall with options for three distances.
