The Boston Globe begins a month-long series on cycling in New England with a two-day trip along the country roads of southeastern Rhode Island, a place where “horses, goats, and sheep share the landscape with elm, oak, and apple trees.” The piece is written by the very credible bicyclist and author Marty Basch, who leads us through the towns of Tiverton, Little Compton, and Adamsville. Even with the head wind, Basch comfortably rides 27 miles one day and 13 miles the next. Sounds heavenly. We’ll be sure to stop back for the rest of the Globe’s series.
