Description: This is a flat
to rolling ride with a few moderately hilly sections; the ride is mostly in
Guilford and features a visit to Chaffinch Island Park with a spectacular
view of Long Island Sound. This
is a shortened version of the 33.7 mile Madison & Guilford Suburbia ride
and it cuts out some of the hillier (but very scenic) sections of the longer
ride in No. Guilford.
