Cool, thanks. I am very familiar with your route. We would take that sometimes after breakfast at Marcus Dairy. I lived in that area for 20 years.

 

Rte 44 between Norfolk and the NY line is beautiful as well....you can work some of that in at the end of Rte 7 and then take NY Rte 22 S for a while.

What a great week for riding overall....just got back from Laconia....the weather was phenomenal...'cept for sweltering in the traffic around Weirs Beach.

 

Hey everyone soon to be HD rider in the Naugatuck area...former Vstar 650 owner.

Anyone have a preference for HD dealerships for parts in the 203?

 

The parts dept is one of the few things I like about Danbury... the parts guys seem knowledgeable and have always done right by me.... just expect to pay full retail...

 

This has probably been the best summer for riding in years. And I haven't ridden in a month. Work and taking care of my family has taken up all my time. But I am going tomorrow. Up Rt 8, across Rt44 and back down Rt7. Gonna stop for a cigar at one of the parks along the way.

 

Great day for riding.... Took today off to get some things done before leaving for vacation... Rte 7 is milled from just past the hydro electric station to bulls bridge... then again just south of Kent... Temp was perfect for riding today..

 

^^^ thanks for the road news. Rt 133 will be closed from the bridge crossing lake up the hill to Bridgewater starting sept 6.

 

Anyone have a favorite Foliage Loop good for a group from the New Haven area? I'm always taking the same roads and looking for something new.

Last Saturday I did a Loop from Derby:
Rt34N to Stoney Creek
Glen Rd to R Rd No.1 to Main St Southbury
Main St to 172N to 67N
67N to 317E
317 to 6S to 64E
64 to 188E to 63S
63 to 68E all the way to Middlbury.
After the Tilcon gravel pit left on 157, then quick left up Powder Hill Rd and down to Lyman's Apple Barrel.

It was nice, great color, but I'd like to try something different in a couple of weeks.

Anyone want to share their colorful route?

Thanks,

Scoop

 

My part-time summer job has end, I am again unemployed. But the weatherman forecasting 83 tomorrow. I am gonna ride north on Rt 63 until it meets Rt 7 then south to Rt 67. If you want to add New Haven, stay on Rt 67 until it meets Rt63 and head south.

 

What a banner riding day today was. Anybody who didn't get to ride missed out.
