This ride had it all: A tunnel, climbing, dirt roads, trails, and an extremely high percentage of dirt. Be ready for climbing! Our computers recorded 6300ft in just 53 miles. We traveled many forested gravel roads along streams and got up to ridgelines with great views. Temperatures were in the 30s when we started, but we were quickly shedding layers as the day warmed up. A couple of us grabbed some beers at the Housatonic Brewery after the ride. An excellent day out.

It was a day for going up and down (rarely flat).
