Review

"From Amesbury to Salem, Roger has captured the magic of Boston's North Shore. This book offers miles of great cycling, scenic vistas and plenty of ice cream stops along the way. It provides all the things that make riding throughout the North Shore a real pleasure. This is great tandem territory. If you ride one, get this book!"
