This is a 2+ hour bike tour to the GroundSwell Cafe in Tiverton Rhode Island.
Your tour begins and ends near the Commons in Little Compton RI. You will meet your new friends and get fitted on an comfortable hybrid, road bike or E-Bike. The group will set the pace with the emphasis on fun not speed. You will ride on the back roads of Little Compton and Tiverton passing farms, vineyards, rivers, bays, estuaries and ponds. The terrain is somewhat hills, but that makes it even more fun. Our destination will be the GroundSwell Cafe at Tiverton Four Corners. A local cafe where you can enjoy a cappuccino and cinnamon roll (my favorite). After we’ve all been caffeinated, we head back to Little Compton and burn off all those delicious calories. We end back where we started. If you need more exercise you can take a walk on a lovely raised boardwalk over wetlands that begins where we have ended.
This tour begins and ends at the baseball field parking lot next to the Wilbur McMahon Public School in the center of Little Compton.
