Barkhamstead Reservoir Loop in 80 Degrees
After last weeks record breaking rain in the northeast, today the temperature broke 80 degrees, so I had to get out and ride or risk missing the nicest day of the year in Connecticut.
I rode on one of the favorite routes of my cycling club around the Barkhamstead Reservior nearly to the Connecticut - Massachusetts border. I saw many other cyclist out enjoying the nice day.
The route around the Barkhamstead Reservior is a little on the hilly side, but very scenic and low traffic for the most part.
I was also happy to notice that much of the road around the west side of the reservoir has been repaved with nice smooth pavement and a added wide shoulder since I last rode this route. I shot some video while on the ride, so here are a few scenes from the ride today.
