Event Description

Another new venue! Still have some details to work out but this will be much like our ride from the Cambridge Brewhouse up in Granby in that Plan B will be the beginning and end point. This time it will be a 13.4mile out and back all on the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. We will also be offering a bonus alternate route for those who want to get a little more riding in before they imbibe.

Here is the "easy" route we have planned - avg.speed 10mph

Here is the longer 20.8 mile loop - avg. speed 15mph

As with all of our rides HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!!! We do our best to run these rides in such a fashion that nobody gets left behind and lost. That being said, we will keep the pace on the slower side and try to keep the group together while we're out there. Looking to keep the pace around 10mph for the easy ride and 15mph for the longer loop. Feel free to print a cue sheet using the link above if you want to hammer it out and get back to the beer faster.

UPDATED Oct 5th: Plan B of Simsbury will graciously offer all riders $4 drafts and live acoustic music! And for $15 they'll provide you with all you can eat from a wide array of great food and they'll throw in two free beers. New England Brewing will also provide some cask beer!

There is ample parking at Plan B and you should take steps to secure your bike in your car or with a lock while enjoying your food and drink.

Comment by Frank Fermino on September 27, 2011 at 11:37am: Excellent!!

hey Stuart, you want to do a preview ride of one of these routes one day? let me know. Im up for some rides this week if the weather holds off.

Comment by Bryon Turner on September 26, 2011 at 7:49am: Frank, after much discussion we settled on the two options listed above. Hope one of those works for you. Should be a great time.

Comment by Stuart Linke on September 22, 2011 at 9:52pm: I can't wait to ride bikes and drink beer with great people again! These events are great!

Comment by Bryon Turner on September 22, 2011 at 8:13pm: It was a loop at one time. I've passed your suggest route on to the guys at PedalPower. More to follow, but I defer to their experience.

Comment by Frank Fermino on September 22, 2011 at 5:41pm: What was the change to the route? It looks the same. I had a route I tried to e-mail but I dont think it worked. Let me know if you got it. I plan to to test ride it tomorrow if the rain holds off.
