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.
This ride will start at the picturesque and historic town of Guilford, CT before heading west shadowing the shoreline of Branford through the town center, and then heading up North through Guilford again. We’ll take a mix of rural routes and backcountry roads heading north into Durham before we make our way in a mostly easterly direction through Chester and into East Haddam where we’ll stop at Gillette’s Castle for a break. We’ll then head North up into Colchester via Devil’s Hopyard for a quick visit before we turn around and head South through the twisty roads in Devil’s Hopyard State Park in the opposite direction. (If you’ve ever driven Devil’s Hopyard, you’ll understand why we’re driving it in both directions). We’ll continue South through the very scenic and twisty Route 156 into Old Lyme, ending at our destination of Dunkin’ Donuts.

Ending point: Dunkin’ Donuts, 83 Halls Rd, Old Lyme, CT
Total Distance: 105 miles
