Note: The mileage cues for the turns inside the UConn campus
may be slightly offso be alert to this probability. Also, while the ride route does
not take the rider onto the various paved pedestrian paths interior to
the campus, it may be possible for those so-interested to get a better view
of campus life and facilities by taking a few off-course excursions via those
paths. Should you choose to do
that, you will have to make a mental adjustment for the ride cues from that
point through to the rides conclusion.
