Riding in NW Connecticut

[Chapomis_imp]

I have a few days coming up while Jane goes to NYC and thought I would explore NW CT from my sons in Hartford. Any suggested routes ? Should I plan to go over the Hudson into NY ? Anyone interested is welcome to join me.

I've been to New London but it was years ago and long before I rode. I remember it being hilly, some winding roads, and quite scenic. The USCG Academy is there too.

I grew up in Waterbury and use to ride in the NW area a lot in the '70's.Living in Groton,CT now. Useing New Milford as the furthest SE point, any roads you go on will be really nice. Rt. 7 follows the Hosatonic river and gets you to Cornwell to the covered bridge. Lime Rock park (a race track) is near by too. Kent is good for a food stop,but bring money.This is Connecticut after all!
Hudson Valley has lots of wineries and is a nice ride too. Check out "ride-ct.com" for lots on info of the area.....enjoy your ride.

Thanks LouA, I am staying with a friend in Norwalk and it looks like I can take RT7 right from there.
