Got a hate & love relationship with hills?  The ride makes it all worthwhile! Ride beautiful scenic routes along the ocean, Hemlock and the Saugatuck Reservoir. Only 1 hour train ride from NYC.  Check out dreamy million-dollar summer homes and enjoy coasting on smooth roads without scary potholes.  Get a  great workout with short quick climbs, and some long nice downhills.  Connecticut knows "what are rolling hills.” (60.6 miles/3,797 elevation gain).

Lunch will be at the Lunch Box at Weston, CT, https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-lunch-box-weston at the 34th mile.  Please, make sure that you bring plenty of snacks and water since there are many rolling hills, and not as many stopping points.

This is an advanced ride.  The average will be just 15-17 mph. Road bikes and touring bikes are recommended. 

Bring 2 backup tubes, Metro-North Bike Pass (you can buy it at Grand Central), bungee cord to tie your bike in the train, small lock, and cash for lunch.

Meeting time is 7:45 am at Grand Central (with your ticket to Westport in your hand) to board the 8:02 am train to Westport (New Haven Line).  You can also board the train at 125 Street. If you are planning to meet us anywhere besides GCT, please notify the leaders so we can meet up with you.
