Hey all, just a note: here's the route as planned, and if you are at all familiar with the area you will know there are many, many opportunities for you to split off at practically any time. As planned it will be pleasant enough though--lakes, hills, farmland, etc. Standard sort of new England stuff. :-)
Weather's supposed to be sunny and mid-70s, so we'll just have to somehow suffer through. If you can join us, great, and if not, hopefully in October. Ride safe--!
==============================================
Shorter ride (about 3 hours?)
1. Leave Branchville Motors, north on Rt. 7 to I-84.
2. East on I-84 to Rt. 39, which is exit 5. (Note, this is less than 10 min. on the slab.)
3. Rt. 39 north to Rt. 7.
4. Rt. 7 north to Rt. 45, Warren Hill Rd. (Past Kent Falls SP, but before Rt. 4.)
5. Rt. 45 south to Rt. 202.
6. Rt. 202 becomes Rt. 7 again.
Longer ride (about 5-6 hours?)
1. Leave Branchville Motors, north on Rt. 7 to I-84.
2. East on I-84 to Rt. 39, which is exit 5.
3. Rt. 39 north to Rt. 7.
4. Rt. 7 north to Rt. 126 (Belden Street), just past Lime Rock.
5. Stop at Toymaker's if desired for a bite to eat!
6. Continue Rt. 126 north to Rt. 44, Canaan Rd. (We go left.)
7. Rt. 44 west or south into New York. Rt. 44 becomes Rt. 22 for a while.
8. In Armenia NY, stay on Rt. 22 south.
(Note, you can take Rt. 55 east in Wingdale if you want to get back to CT earlier.)
9. Rt. 22 connects with I-84. You will most likely want to take I-84 east.
