Ride
Description:A gentle start past Lake
Quonnipaug in Guilford. The ride continues north into Durham and Middletown,
then onto Lyman Orchards Farm Store for a break and regroup. On the way,
there is a nice view of Wadsworth Falls and Park area with some scenic and
quiet country roads. The return path back to the starting location is a nice
easy gradual climb on rolling terrain. Just before the end, the Lakeside Farm
Stand (store) at mile 32 has some nice ice cream and other treats for
purchase, and also several pet llamas and exotic birds for viewing fun.
