Start from Copley Square. Go through Dartmouth; turn to left onto
Commonwealth Avenue, turn to right at Massachusetts Avenue, and cross
Harvard Bridge over the Charles River to Cambridgeport. Keep on direct
road, and at Windsor Street turn to the right, passing car tracks, and
continuing to Webster Avenue, there turn to left, and keep straight road
to Somerville. Turn to the right onto Prospect Street, go up small hill,
cross railroad. Turn to right onto Washington Street, and follow it to
Medford Street; there turn to left, and following Medford Street to
Central Square, there turn to right on Cross Street, and to the right
onto Mystic Avenue. At Middlesex Avenue turn to left, and follow direct
road through Wellington to Pleasant Street, Malden. (So far road very
good, macadam most of the distance, small hills, and good level
stretches.) Continue through Highland Avenue to Clifton Street, where
turn to right, and follow it until you come to tracks of the
B. & M. R. R. Then turn to right over the tracks onto Washington Street,
and take second turn on left. Then turn to left on to Main Street, and
follow direct way to Melrose. (Small hills, but good macadam road.) Keep
to right at Green Street, to the right at Franklin Street, bearing to
right into Saugus by Main Street. Turn to right, cross tracks of B. & M.,
then keep to left into East Saugus. At watering-trough, beyond which
keep to left out Boston Street over Tower Hill, and at horse-car station
turn to right to Common Street, there turn to left, and to right onto
Market Street. Turn to left at Broad Street, and to right at New
Washington Street, and cross the long narrow isthmus, with Lynn Beach on
the left and Lynn Harbor on the right. In passing through Lynn,
considerable paving has to be ridden over. This is more than
counterbalanced by the fine level road from Lynn to Nahant. It is one of
the very best in the State, a refreshing ride on a hot day, water either
side. Keep to left and follow main road, making a circuit of the end of
the peninsula, which is high and rocky. There are excellent views both
here and at Bass Point. Tri-Mountain House is a good place for a fish
dinner.
