We went past that Myopia Polo field, and then continued on up along the shore to Kittery Point before turning inland and coming back south through Dover and Exeter and Groveland. I'd only ever seen the giant-shopping-mall part of Kittery; the part we rode through was as scenic as that part is NOT. The route back was just as pretty, I think, but I decided to set some speed goals and had the athletic sort of fun rather than the tourist sort, and it's a bit of a blur. I did pass over a bridge I'd previously only seen from canoeing under it, which was a novelty.
