Routes / Crossing Jamestown bridge in RI

« on: July 15, 2008, 10:44:56 pm »

What is the best way to cross the Jamestown bridge in Rhode Island around Newport?

I am taking the Atlantic Coast route later this summer and not sure how to cross this bridge.

I read that there is a pedestrian path to walk the bike but the DOT is not confirming it.

Anyone crossed this bridge recently? How?

What is your favorite book to take on a bike tour?

I am preparing for a tour of New England states over two weeks, and looking for a book to keep me company in the evenings. Preferably related to nature adventures, non-fiction, and inspiring. But anything goes.

What do you recommend?

Do you know of a library for touring routes?

Of course ACA has a set of routes. What about all those other tours that people take? I know there are a lot of ideas and places to visit out there. Most particularly, those tours outside of North America.

When I search online, all I find is commercial tours, but hardly any routes generated by riders, well documented, charted on a map, generated GPX files, and detailed day by day.

Do know of such places?
