Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Westerly

    Westerly is the last town in Rhode Island, and it knows it. The Pawcatuck River forms the state line here, and the neighboring village of Pawcatuck, Connecticut, sits across a bridge so close that you can cross the border for a coffee and be back before it cools. For anyone arriving along the coast from Narragansett, this is a natural place to end a ride: a proper small town with a working center, not a resort.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Westerly sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Narragansett.

  2. 2. Narragansett

    Narragansett is where Rhode Island's south coast stops being a drive and starts being a habit. The town sits on a knuckle of land between Narragansett Bay and the open Atlantic, and the ocean here is the real thing: long gray rollers that arrive from Spain with nothing in between. Ocean Road, Route 1A, hugs the shoreline past the seawall, Scarborough Beach and a string of big shingled summer houses, and on a calm morning it is as pleasant a start to a coast ride as New England offers.
