Description:
This ride is for more advanced riders who can handle themselves on busier streets, big intersections and climbs. The almost 25 mile ride will be worth it once you reach the Wethersfield Cove. I would suggest stopping for a light picnic or snack to enjoy the boats and breeze. There is a great ice cream store when headed back up through Old Wethersfield. This old district is very pretty to ride through and offers flat road until you get back to Wells Rd. Be very careful crossing the Berlin Tpke at Prospect to Robbins Ave. You will need to travel with traffic as you pass the Mc Donalds and continue into Newington. The rest of the ride is mostly flat except for one last short but monster climb up Francis Street. The ride ends through Stanley Park where you can view everyone else participating in thier favorite outdoor recreation activities!
