It was just a picture perfect day today, low humidity, light winds, and a very pleasant temperature. I took advantage and journeyed from Danvers to Conomo Point and then on to Wingaersheek Beach coming back through Topsfield Those areas have post-card views everywhere you look. From there I passed a llama farm and more quiet roads.

I added some hills at the end to get the elevation gain to about 50 feet per mile which isn’t bad considering roads near the ocean tend to be flat.
Atlantic Street going to Wingaersheek is a fun road to ride on so long as the traffic is minimal as it was today. It was a lot of twists and one down-hill slalom section.
More details can be found in the captions to the photos.
About 8 miles into the ride, I never tire of this view on Gardner Street.
Clammers' Beach on Conomo Point.
Idyllic conditions and surroundings...
There were plenty of benches and even a picnic table. It was hard to leave this area!
Low tide.
More Conomo Point. It's a different direction but has more beautiful views.
On Robbins Island road..
A llama farm on Concord Street.
The entrance to the beach.
The boardwalk to the beach.
A few people were on the beach.
It's hard to tell in the photo but in the distance is a hill with sharp twists that make it kind of a slalom run with nicely banked turns and it can be ridden at 35+MPH.
This is the corner before the slalom section. It's a sharp left and then it plunges with pretty sharp turns.
