Colchester to Norwich Early Bird Coffee Run – rescheduled

August 1, 2021 @ 7:30 am - 11:30 am

Free

Registration will open at 7pm on Tuesday, July 27th (form will be available toward the bottom of the event page at that time). Please leave the Total Guests count at 1 on the RSVP form, this represents the number of cars you are bringing. Thanks.

This run will start a bit early to beat the traffic. Meet up between 7:00 – 7:30 am, driver’s meeting at 7:30 am with departure at 7:45 am.

A new run for 2021, this run will start in Colchester and head East and South, eventually getting us very close to Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard. We will travel on a mix of new and frequently used roads, as we head out of Ledyard towards the “quiet corner” and into Plainfield. We’ll then head West through some beautiful farmland, eventually getting to one of my personal favorite roads – Jerusalem Road.

There will be a rest stop at approximately 60 miles where we can stretch our legs, enjoy coffee if you desire, and connect with our CVR members.

Starting point: Starbucks, 95 Linwood Ave., Colchester
Ending point: Dunkin Donuts 132 Taftville-Occum Rd, Norwich

Total Distance: 109 miles

Ending point is within sight of Route 395 to take you back to your home destination.
