Ride
Description: Ride south on the east side of the Connecticut River to the
Rocky Hill/Glastonbury Ferry landing for a crossing of the river. Once on the
Rocky Hill side, ride north up the river toward Wethersfield via The
Meadows, the featured area
of the ride (Note: this entails a 5-mile ride on dirt roads). After touring "The Meadows" on dirt roads, ride on to Wethersfield Cove (a
nice spot for lunch). From
Wethersfield Cove, tour sections of Wethersfield and Rocky Hill, return to
the ferry landing to cross the river again, and return to the CPL. This mellow ride is over mostly flat
terrain with just a few modest hills along the way.
