North Shore Cyclists is a recreation
al cycling club that hosts road bike rides in an area spanning from Wakefield MA into New Hampshire. Less than an hour away from downtown Boston, the maze of old roads on the North Shore offer great cycling through charming quiet communities, along the shore, through the Great Salt Marsh, and weaving through several state forests. Charles River Wheelmen (CRW) , a Boston-based cycling club, also leads rides in the area north of Boston, and the North Shore is home to Bike New England which publishes this blog.
