About this event

Please join me for a spring ride along this 15 mile section of the Hop Brook Railtrail.  We'll meet at a parking area just off I-84 and ride the 15+/- miles to Andover and return for a total ride of 30+ miles.  An optional ride on the 4 mile spur to Rockville CT is possible at the end of the main event.  Riding surface is packed bluestone dust (not asphalt) so somewhat wider tires are advisable if you have a choice.  Please bring helmet and water.  Lunch spot will most likely be at a Subway/DD or bring your own.

Guys, my saturday just opened up and the forecast down there suggests sun, something in short supply up here in Vermont.

Exploring transportation arrangements, a one-way rental from Vermont to Manchester CT, Enterprise Rent-a-Car office.

Helpful comments welcome! Jon, it would be great to see you -- and everyone else, of course....
