Summary
Please join us for this 20-mile roundtrip ride on the original railbed of the Airline Railroad which was designed to provide the shortest route between NYC and Boston in the 1870s. We'll ride from Amston (Hebron)/Rte 85 south to East Hampton where we'll have lunch (at a restuarant or outside if you bring your own); then return. Hopefully the fall foliage will be coming into full glory. Please bring a helmet, water and snacks. This railtrail has a hard-packed surface but is NOT paved; however, most road bikes should be fine for this ride.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
Please meet at the Airline State Park Trail Parking Lot on the west side of Route 85 in Amston (Hebron) CT; this appears on maps.google.com. Please note that there's sporadic cell & GPS service in the area so, just in case, you may want to print out a map to find the parking lot.
