The Connecticut River Estuary Ride

Total Distance: 28.5 miles Elevation Gain: 1192 feet

Degree of Difficulty Index: 1192 ft / 28.5 mi = 41.82 ft/mi Terrain: Rolling

Killer Hills: None

Geographical Region: South Central Connecticut

City/Town: Chester

Starting Location: Rt. 9 Exit 9 CPL (Rt. 148) in Chester

Ride Description: This ride passes over some less familiar terrain in Chester en route to Deep river and Essex. Later it shoots down toward Westbrook (but doesn't quite make it to the center of town) before heading back to Ivoryton. The ride up to this point is flat to rolling, but afterwards it requires negotiating a couple hilly sections (builds character) before passing on to a mostly downhill 5-mile return to the CPL.
