Today’s Ride: Norfolk - Winchester Loop
Today I got out for a solo ride on one of my favorite 50 mile routes that I haven’t been on in a while. Starting in Canton, CT, I headed northwest to New Hartford and Pleasant Valley where I spotted many fisherman out on the Farmington River. I then headed up Sandy Brook Road, then on to Norfolk, which claims the highest elevation of any Connecticut town.
Once in Norfolk I decided to take Mountain Road to Westside Road. I had not been on Westside Road before, and it was a nice quite road, but the pavement ended after a while, and the dirt sections had some new loose rock that was a bit dangerous to ride, but it wasn’t too long.
I headed back by Winchester Lake, and Winchester Center where there was a quilt show going on on the village center.
This was my longest ride of the year so far, and I felt it in my legs the last 5 miles or so. I am working up toward a century ride on June 20th.
Here are a few photo from the ride. See more on Flickr.
