This ride is over, but we’ll have more rides posted soon! You will find some photos and highlights from the ride on Steve’s Strava post. We’ve also added a few photos from this year’s ride at the bottom of this post.
Join us for one of Kathy’s favorite routes in Litchfield County, CT. The riding is spectacular here and will include the scenic shoreline of Lake Waramaug. We will have three “pace groups”, which will differ in speed, distance, and intensity of climbing.

Expect country roads, a civilized stop in Kent, CT for baked goods and coffee, and a visit to Lake Waramaug. There will be some climbs, but nothing like the Tunnel Ride in June! We had a great time last year and had some fun wildlife sitings. We saw a young bear running down the road, a bobcat, hawks, and other surprises (see here: https://www.strava.com/activities/11888393334)
Stick around after the ride! We’ll picnic next to the river. Kathy and Steve will bring a big cooler of drinks and snacks to share.
Young bear on the road! From last year’s version of this ride.
Expect beautiful riding along Lake Waramaug as an interlude between dirt sections.
