Yes, I live near Newport (Jamestown, in the middle of the Bay) and Yes, I have ridden Arcadia before. Hope you had a good one. RI is not the best place for MTBing, but it has enough to us yokels happy. Steve "Boat-Boy" Baker |

Scott It was raining at the end of the week so I brought the new GRS bling. I wound up at Ten Speed Spokes (http://www.tenspeedspokes.com), a nice shop just over the bridge from Goat Island. It's in a barely renovated old train station. Nice kid working there, showed me a map of 30ish mile loop along Ocean Ave, Belleview, and some of the local beaches that was...and I cringe of the idea that I'll be using this word...breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful. Belleview's real estate was comically colossal. It was like riding by 200 different variations of the Museum of Natural History. The roads by the water were pretty shot, and I spent a little more time on unshouldered major roads than I would have liked, but definitely a nice touring-style ride. I'm going to be back in town for a wedding in early June with the MTB (weather permitting) and maybe the tandem (if my GF is able to get some time away from her bridesmaid duties). I'll keep y'all posted. /s |

The Tour de Jamestown is about 20 miles, and our roads are in just as bad shape as Newports. Plus, we have less tourists. Steve |

Steve Is the wierd-looking memorial a white cross, I think it's a memorial for Portuguese explorers or fishermen? There's a stone building behind it? If so, yeah, saw it, photographed it. The shore there was gobsmackingly beautiful, as picturesque as I've seen the East Coast. The washed out roads beat my rear rim into the brake pads. /s |
