A complete loop ride from Dover is described in Seacoast History Ride. These notes supplement that information and [...]

One item I always carry with me when bicycling or camping is a 3M Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth. I use them to clean my glasses, sun glasses, bike computer, camera, PDA, GPS or Nintendo DS Lite, anything that is easily scratched.
