**Online ticket sales for this event are now closed, but day of registration will be available.**

Join us for a 56-mile bike ride up the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail from New Haven, CT, to Southwick, MA. Most of the ride is on protected, paved trails. We'll pass through 11 Connecticut towns before reaching Massachusetts. Ride includes two rest stops, one in Cheshire and one in Plainville, where we'll have a presentation on closing the gap in that town. Our lunch stop is in SImsbury, sponsored by the Farmington Valley Trails Council. Registration opens at 7:30 am at Chapel & College Streets; ride leaves 8 am. $20 donation suggested. Please register on Eventbrite.

First 50 registrants can opt for bus ride back to New Haven for additional $20. Donations support the East Coast Greenway Alliance, Farmington Valley Trails Council, and the Farmington Canal Rail to Trail Association, working to close the gaps on this scenic, multi-use trail.
