We'll head up Bragg Hill and drop down to Beaver Meadow.  Over the top, then down to Downer and across to South Stafford.  Back to Norwich on Mine -> New Boston.

If folks are interested we can make short side trips on Cossingham, Ladue or the Downer Camp class 4 to see those connections.

All the way up New Boston to South Strafford.  The big climb up Alger Brook, then to Miller Pond and the long Sawnee Bean descent.  Buzzell Bridge to the dam, then Kerwin Hill to the Class 4 to the Bradley Hill singletrack trail.  Pop out on Union Village and swoop back into town.

We'll head up Colby Hill and Ladieu to Porter and the Black Hill Class 4 to Old County.  A bit of pavement, then Stage to Spencer to Hell Hollow.  Swoop down to 12A and back up the Saint-Gaudens road to the top of Dingleton Hill.  Down to Root Hill, Tandy Brook, and jackson, then back up East, Burr, and Camp to the start.

Up Rt. 14 for 1 1/2 miles to White Brook and a farm trail(short hike for most) to Whitney and Dairy Hill.  Potash Hill to downtown Tunbridge, and a short leg up 110 to Monarch. Monarch climb, down Spring, and back up out of the valley on Belknap Brook.  Potash Hill, Gilley, Robinson, and the Fay Brook descent back to the start.

Both rides start up the Quechee-West Hartford road.  (No grumbling -- a climbing start means a descending finish. :-)  )  Then onto the rollercoaster that is Joe Ranger, Bunker Hill, Old Kings Highway, and Cloudland.  Drop down Barber Hill to the Pomfret road, refuel at the Teago store, and continue down Stage.  Up the long Wild Apple climb to Skyline. Down Skyline and descend the west side of Allen Hill, then Broad Brook to River road to Sharon.   Rt 14 to Quimby to Mitchell Brook, then down Tigertown to Rt 14 and the start.
