Heading to Mad Martha's!

Once upon a time, Mad Martha's was a favorite July destination just before the PMC. A few of us recently recalled their Portuguese French Toast and reminisced over fun times. Donna has suggested a remote start at Ipswich High School, (which is where many of the North Shore Cyclists routes embark from), and I think it's a great idea!

Estimated mileage from the school is 12.4 miles straight up Route 1A to Rolfe Road and the Plum Island Turnpike.

Start time will be 8:00 a.m. from Ipswich High School, (adding extra time for the drive). If you want to start from Salem, add an additional 15 miles and figure out your start time based on your MPH average. We won't have an official Salem start.

Mad Martha's is under new ownership since the last time we've been there but has a similar menu -- including the Portuguese French Toast and Egg Sammies (sandwiches) on Bolo Levados (a Portuguese english muffin). The cafe has frequently been cited as having the Best Breakfast on the North Shore by North Shore Magazine, so let's go! (Chip has already checked out the menu and does not want to miss it.)

See you Saturday!
