7/18/17 Tuesday B Ride...38 miles 3200 feet of climbing
Everyone liked the opportunity to ride towards the Burlington area, so we are heading back. This time we will find our way to Collinsville by going up to descend down East Hill Rd, crossing Rt 44. After heading out the back side of Collinsville through Vineyard and other nice roads, we will come down Southeast road to then begin the Steele Hill Road climb. Up and down into New Hartford and heading west on Rt 44 to go to Pleasant Valley, and then back along the Seville Damn and the lower reservoir (219) and the 'shortcut' to Rt. 44. Rt 44 we will head east and make a left onto Indian Hill Rd all the way to then descend down West Mountain road. Roll our way up 179 to make a right onto High Valley / Andrew Drive to bring us back on 309 to West Simsbury.
Patricia...you will be happy that Barndoor Hills is not on this ride..as will many. We will miss Walt while he is in France...but he would love this ride.
The route has 3 shaded climbs and plenty of nice rolling roads. Blinking lights continue to be a great idea...especially as we play with daylight. My guess is that this will be one of our last weeks of 'eeking' out a longer ride.
Look forward to a safe and great ride with you all!
Jan, as usual, great club ride again tonight!!! I think it is evident by the number of people that consistently show up. Really appreciate your taking the time to map all the rides out and lead the way.
