8/8/17 Tuesday B Ride 29 miles 2500' Climbing
Nice temperatures for riding later today compared to the heat and humidity of last week.
Let's head to the new pavement of Rt. 179 via Shingle Mill ( I will check the surface of this when I ride to the start), and North Mountain Rd. Make sure your brakes are working well for the stop at the bottom of North Mountain. We will make a right and head up Rt. 179 to take a left onto Hillcrest to Rt. 219. Once on 219, we will take the next left onto Ratlum...a fun less traveled way of getting into New Hartford...with a great descent.
Once in New Hartford, carefully crossing Rt 44 we will head up Steele Rd, going up and over, watching for pavement changes near the bottom and out to Rt 202. Left onto 202, pass Nepaug Reservoir and right to cross over the damn. Once over the damn, we will head down Town Bridge Rd., with a right onto Rt 179, left onto Simonds Ave and then a left onto East Hill Rd. Take East Hill over Rt 44, climb part of the way up and take a right onto Bahre Corner Rd., to Dry Bridge, Notch and West Mountain Rd. back to the start.
As always, make sure your lights or blinky lights are charged or have good batteries.
See you for a 6PM roll out. Have a great day!

Great route Jan. Betsy and I will be there. We'll actually be starting from home and riding the route to the start and will drop off as we pass our house later. Will be leaving at 5 in case other New Hartford/ Canton folks want to ride over with us.
Agree. Looks like great route again.
Walt, As usual I will be riding from Canton leaving ~5:20ish. No need to coordinate though - I'll just see you if I see you. Otherwise see you at the ride.
