Join RBSC and Kingdom Cycling for a beautiful and fun tour of the Litchfield County hills.
All Road: a combination of dirt roads, asphalt and wide park trails.
Bike Needed: Please make sure you have the proper bike for this ride. We recommend a minimum of 28mm tires, especially if you are new to gravel and dirt roads. Remember there is significant climbing and pitch on dirt so you will want to have a bike with ample gearing.
You can rent at RBCo here. Reserve quickly...They will go fast!
This ride will start and finish at the Kent Falls Brewery. From the brewery you can either take a self guided route at your own pace or join one of the guided groups. There will be 2 routes for this ride, one that is more mellow (20ish miles – minimal climbing) and another that is more adventurous (35ish miles – more climbing). Once you pick the ride you want to do we will have different pace levels choose from.
Along the ride you will find yourself in a beautiful park traversing the Shepaug River, going through an old mining tunnel and enjoying the scenery and solitude that the Litchfield County Hills offer.
Once you finish the ride you will be treated to some of the best beer in the area in a unique tucked away setting. There you can do a tasting, drink more than a tasting’s worth (just make sure you have a DD!) or bring some home for yourself and loved ones.
Both rides will have dirt and pavement sections and bikes with 28mm tires & ample gearing are required. If you are uncertain if your bike will do the job either ask the bike shop or message us here. All-Road Bicycles are available for daily rentals at RBCo: reserve your bike here.
There are only 30 spots available at the Brewery, so be sure to reserve your spot.
Route links will be sent via your registration confirmation email.
**Please plan on carpooling as much as possible.**
***As always, we try to accommodate everyone, but ask that riders are prepared with the proper equipment for optimal enjoyment and respect for other riders in the group. Please have an appropriate bike for the ride, thank you!
