CT River View to Hartford<!-- --> | <!-- -->Greg & Camille Go Bike

August 31st, 2021

After drying off what we could from last night's storm, we left the campsite and headed to Hartford. The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday called for heavy rain, so we decided to detour into the city for a comfy day off and plan for biking on rail trails during the tail end of the storm.

There were some beautiful views as we left the state forest, including Saville Dam. In Granby, we stopped for ice cream, falafels, and vegetarian poutine at Deep Roots. After lunch, we picked up the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail and enjoyed some relaxing off-road riding until connecting back to the East Coast Greenway. Once in Hartford, we took care of some errands. Camille particularly enjoyed the impromptu Earth, Wind, & Fire karaoke at the local laundromat. We stayed in the city for the night and prepared to wait out the storm.
