This is a tri-state run, taking us into Western RI, just touching southern Mass, and then ending in the quiet corner of CT. It’s a very curvy and twisty route in some places, with some narrow roads.

The route is divided into three different driving sections:

• Section 1 is very curvy, mostly back roads – good two-hand driving roads. Not the best section to be enjoying your coffee!
• Section 2 is more Grand Touring with more gentle curves. A good chance to relax and enjoy the scenery.
• Section 3 is a combination of both.

Just after the coffee break, there’s a nice covered bridge – The Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge before you turn right onto route 94. You can see it straight ahead. It’s a short dirt road. Great photo op for anyone interested.

We’ll be ending at Vanilla Bean for brunch or an early lunch.

Starting point:  McDonald’s, 796 Norwich Rd, Plainfield, CT
Ending point: The Vanilla Bean Cafe, 450 Deerfield Rd, Pomfret, CT

Total Distance: 111 miles
