Ride
Description: This interesting
ride passes through several up-scale residential areas in Guilford and
Madison and features a visit to Hammonasset State Park. The terrain is largely flat with just
a few modest hills along the way.
The ride route takes several roads not often used on Shoreline bike
rides. All in all this is a very
pleasing ride that stays almost entirely off heavily traveled, busy state
roads. It's a
"keeper".
