Our Ride started off 3 strong at New Haven Green heading north for Hartford and glory! We lost one rider early to a cold ,which I can only assume was caused by this weeks weird weather. The 2 of us continued on through Sleeping Giant, Wallingford, Middletown and the never ending Connecticut hills. Another rider dropped out around Cromwell due to the time it was taking leaving just the stubborn organizer to carry the torch all the way to Hartford. I made it to Hartford but unfortunately not in time for the big rally. It was fun and I hope we proved that riding your bike can prevent alot of carbon emissions from reaching the air.
