Description: This ride is
over mostly rolling terrain and traverses the outer boundaries of Cheshire
while never leaving the town limits.
It offers views of the varied character of the town that includes many
industrial parks, farmland, plant nurseries, farm stores, residential areas,
businesses, the Connecticut Correctional Institution and much, much
more. While some of the ride
route uses busy state routes (take care), much of the ride is on
less-traveled back roads with lots to see and admire.
