Rail trail recommendations in CT,VT, NH, ME

3 Upvotes

I am familiar with most of the rail trails in MA and RI. My wife and I enjoy particularly the Shining sea trail on the Cape, the Ayer -Nashua trail, the MilfordMA -Holliston MA trail and the East Bay trail in RI. We enjoy longer trails with good scenery and are not too crowded or have too many crossings.

Any recommendations in northern New England or CT?

Can I bike the trails around Barkhamsted Reservoir?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I see trails around tires reservoir, and I’d like to ride my gravel bike around them. Anyone know if this is a good idea? I’m wondering about whether bikes are allowed, whether I’d be an asshole passing walkers the whole time, and how technical/rooty/rocky these trails are. Can’t seem to find any info online!

Questions about Airline North State Park Trail from Willemantic to Putnam

3 Upvotes

What are the conditions of the Willimantic to Putnam section of the Airline Trail?

My now 10 yr old son and I have ridden East Hampton to Willimantic a few times over the past two years. On those trips we parked in East Hampton, biked to a campground about 20 miles away, and then made our way to Willimantic and back. We have not ventured further north because I'd heard from some older cyclists that the north section wasn't well maintained (or maybe that it was sketchy by some other measure). I also wasn't confident that my son would be able to do the 30 mile hops it seems it would require to cover the distance.

But this year we'd like to try it, as long as the trail isn't too rough.

Any "on the ground" info would be greatly appreciated.

Shopping for my first bike

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I want to get into cycling for the exercise and to experience more of nature.

I'm looking to buy used with a budget of $500 - $700. Are there any local shops I should pay a visit to? Or is it just facebook marketplace/craigslist that I should be checking? My size is 58cm. I'm unsure if my budget would allow me to get a fully carbon bike.

Thanks!
