igus® US Bike Tour US Ocean State Ride

For this next exciting portion of the tour, the igus:bike made its way back north, landing right in Rhode Island! With its rich history, beautiful coastal sights, and the fact that igus, Inc. is proudly located here, it was the perfect next stop on the tour. The first day of riding in Rhode Island saw Caitlyn Cornell, Digital Marketing Manager at igus, Inc., brave the crisp air and take the bike right along Narragansett Beach. It was there she cruised by The Towers, an iconic, historic landmark! The Towers is all that remains of the massive Narragansett Pier Casino, originally built in the mid-1880s, and to this day, it serves as a beautiful venue for plays, weddings, and upscale dinners. The scenic ride ended with a fantastic stop at the Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown. While the modern lighthouse was built in 1856, earlier structures on the same site date all the way back to 1749! That original structure was known as the Newport Light, and was the third-ever lighthouse established in the original Thirteen Colonies. Talk about history standing tall!
