Route1 Summary

A short road route starting at Huntley Meadows. We turn right to exit the parking lot and turn left to climb Union Village. 4 miles later turn left on Rt 132 then a right turn on Academy. In Union Village turn left before the covered bridge to climb up to the dam. Go over the dam and through the gate on the right to descend back down to Academy and the covered bridge. Continue until you reach Rt 132 and turn left. This meets Rt 5, turn right and head back to Norwich.

Route2 Summary

This route weaves around Route1. It includes dirt sections on Patrell, Kerwin, and Campbell Flats. At the time of writing, Campbell Flats is sandy and washboardy, so it might be skipped.

Description

Bring lights!

If you have been on a WNR C ride this season or were just thinking about it, then come to this one and we can take a big group photo on top of the Union Village Dam before we say goodbye for the season.

Route1 is all road, Route2 has several gravel sections.

This ride will provide the opportunity for some pace-line practice on Rt 132 and Rt 5.

This week we are also offering a gnarlier option which includes gravel on Patrell, Kerwin and possibly Campbell flats.
