farmington canal heritage trail ride

August 16th, 2009

22 miles round trip
average speed 11.7
Cheshire to the Hamden/New Haven border
nice flat trail, a few little hills
mostly shady, which was appreciated because it was hot and humid
brief stop in Newhallville neighborhood of New Haven to listen to gospel music coming out of little churches and get something cold to drink

When will they finish the trail all the way into New Haven?
Farmington Canal Trail
part of the East Coast Greenway
