East Bay, Rhode Island -One of the top 10 rides in the country - Providence to Bristol RI. This is an easy scenic 30-mile bike ride along the east side of Narragansett Bay. Don't let the mileage scare you. The bike trail is flat except for one very short hill at the end of the ride. The ONLY thing that could make this ride remotely difficult would be wind conditions. There will be several stops along the way to encourage all riders. This is one of the most beautiful rides on the east coast, and may include a loop through Colt State Park |
