hey - there's a great restaurant called the Franklin Cafe in gloucester. well, i've not actually been to that location, but i can certainly vouch for the original one in boston's south end. awesome bistro food, very reasonably priced.
there's some good riding in gloucester but you probably won't have yr bike w/ you. you can do some hiking though. check out the dogtown or ravenswood areas. or plum island off newburyport isn't too far either (north of gloucester/cape ann).

Really!?! What kind of riding is it? I wont have my bike with me but im sort of scouting for places to check out this summer, i would like to do the "nam" some day. I will def check out the restraunt (food is on the companynarlus said:
) I believe i am staying right on the bay so it should be a cool trip, aside from the 20 F temp.:mumble:
here's the only dogtown pic i could find on the web:
tons of rocks here...some really fun xc stuff.
'nam is a fair distance from gloucester, but if you do have a bike when you are back here, give me a shout because there's a lot of good riding on boston's north shore.

Looks decent, actually alot like Western PA riding. I like anything with the words "north shore" in itnarlus said:here's the only dogtown pic i could find on the web:

ok, i found some neat photos of the infamous "babson boulder trail". the dude carved inspirational mottos into the granite rocks, and they are scattered all over this trail.

I second checking out Newburyport and Plum Island. I used to spend a lot of time there.narlus said:
Edit: Not sure what they're like in the winter though.
That is what i wanted to hear. As for the fisherman, i can hang with the best of them, ill order a couple of shots of whiskey and they will get over it.dan-o said:
What bars do you recomend?
Sucks the place is going to be coverd in snow :mumble:
go to that one which was in _The Perfect Storm_ and continually ask questions about the movie, to anyone within earshot. they like that.manhattanprjkt83 said:
Well, what size Bike do you ride ? if you wanted to do Nam , and willing to make the drive down ( its about 1 1/2 hrs) I'd show you around, may be doing a cold Thursday Night ride this week.
hahhahaha figured they love that...dont worry im not a tourist, i like to hit the local type spots...narlus said:
OH MAN! I would have taken you up on that, I am flying out on thursday eve/afternoon...I am already at work and dont have my riding gear...splat said:
The snow is going to be very minimal. I don't know how much Gloucester got, but if its anything like the Cape then they got nothing. In Worcester, where we usually get it dumped on us, we have just a light covering on the ground. Whatever snow is here should melt within a few days.manhattanprjkt83 said:
well i'm not too far from gloucester (30 min inland) and we probably got close to 6" when it was all over. it's freezing cold though. bring a warm hat and some gloves if you plan on walking around outside.
narlus said:
I just walked down to the post office, and my face almost froze solid. It's unbeliveably cold out, like a -15 to -20 windchill.
Snow cover really varies. I'm suprised to hear there's 6" on the North Shore. Maybe a 1/2 inch where I live and an inch at Borderland yesterday, and a lot of it melted after the sun came out.
great, im looking forward to this hahahah...its not to warm in pittsburgh either...berkshire_rider said:

If you like rocks there's some nice trails up around those parts...
What kind of business takes you to Gloucester - fishsticks ?
For bars I like Halibut Point - it's downtown. PM me if you ever want to ride up that way. narlus will l tell you I am a certified trail yoda in that region .
Drinking Guiness in the airport rigfht now...WiFi w00t w00t.
you gotta check out woodmans(in essex i believe) if you like fried seafood. 
also, you can hike in lynn woods if you would like to check out some riding areas. it is currently closed to bikes but you can still hike there if you want to. if you go park at the main lot which is right next to some ballfields. then keep to the right of the pond when heading into there and you shall find the good stuff.
