Ride Overview
Ride Description:
Circumnavigate the gorgeous coastline, marshes, quiet roads, and a few hills from Little Compton through Acoaxet, Adamsville, Sapowet Marsh, Fogland Beach, Sakonnet Vineyard, and Sakonnet Lighthouse. Hear the story of "Sin and Flesh" and other historic and funny notes of the area along the way. Look it up or wait for the tour!
Lunch stop is in Tiverton Four Corners and we picnic at Gray's Ice Cream. Bring your own lunch or buy local. Groundswell - lovely foods. It's a treat

Tiverton Four Corners has galleries and shopping too. You'll want to come back.
Following the ride we hit the beach: - at South Shore Beach, 140 South Shore Road 2.5 miles from the start - no lifeguard, free parking, sand beach, great water! After it's classic seafood dinner at Evelyn's Drive-In 2335 Main Road, Tiverton, RI before heading home. Call to ask about dietary options.
Mike Schuttenberg created this route back in the 90's and named it 'Sin and Flesh'. Mike rode his last ride in April 2018 and passed in October from pancreatic cancer. He was a long time CRW member and Mike loved nothing better than sharing a full day of laughter and conversation with friends, old and new. We hope you'll join us. I run this ride in honor of MIke.
Led Ride: (10-12 mph). Show and Go - though everyone seems to stick together to learn all the history.
This is a very social ride, lots of sights to see, history to chat about, dip your feet in the water kinda day. We are back at the start by 3. Then the beach and at Eveyn's maybe by 6ish depending on how wonderful the beach or how hungry we are! Some may skip the beach altogether. If you are vegan - call Evelyn's for workarounds for a good meal. It can be done.
