The GPS track is provided. It follows the entire NS trail from Douglas, MA 78 miles to Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown, RI. The Buck Hill section is “by passed” because it’s unridable. Everything on the Track can be ridden by a skilled rider. There is a mix of road, gravel, cart roads, single track and some short “hike a bike” sections. Any bike Gravel or Mountain Bike with no wider than 2.1 tires will be a good choice to best manage the course. The woods are pretty buggy so, bring bug repellent.
The best plan is to have your Family spend the day at Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown, RI where the ride Finished. Changing and shower facilities are available at the Beach. You do need to pay for a day beach pass but, after 5 PM entry is free. I anticipate a finish around 4 PM.
