Description: While this is
not one of my favorite rides, it does have some redeeming value. The ride uses many back roads
(several w/ very rough and broken pavement) as well as some well traveled
routes and passes through several residential and farmland areas with pond
views while visiting portions of Wallingford, North Haven and East Haven.
