Break out your bike! Come riding with us on the Larkin Bridal Trail and Middlebury Greenway! Get up to speed over the season and ride with other leisurely groups at different trails and events. Biking is fun, social and a great way to get outside and get some exercise.

The Larkin Bridal Trail is an undeveloped former rail bed with dirt surface. It’s scenic, quiet and cool in summer. Yield to Horses if you see them. The Middlebury Greenway is paved and hilly alongside route 64. Yield to pedestrians they are everywhere. Larkin has plenty of parking and Middlebury Greenway hasn’t any.

Ride levels are based on physical intensity, pace, bike skills & distance.

Green Rides= Easy and very leisurely.

Blue Rides=Almost as easy but farther, medium pace, more challenging, but still leisurely.

Black Rides= faster pace, longer distance, more complicated, more extreme yet still somehow leisurely.

MTB= Mountain Bike Rides, fire roads & basic trail unless otherwise mentioned.

Bike Touring= Long duration rides, both day and overnights,

You should wear a Helmet

 NO ONE EVER GETS LEFT BEHIND ON OUR RIDES.

Any bike will do. Hybrid & mountain bikes are recommended if you have one. We have a “run what you brung” mentality

 LTRG is open to anyone that wants to go bike riding. Casual Cycling is for everyone!

The idea is to have regular rides in our area with special rides available with other groups at other venues. Doing events, going places and riding with our buddies in LTRA & CB is the plan. The “LTRA” is Leisure Trail Riders Association of Manchester and the “CB” is Casual Bikers of Simsbury. Both groups are notorious for their casual attitude's and choice restaurant selections.

Some other Venues are:

The Farmington Valley Greenway & River Trail (Farmington Trail) is a paved heaven that rolls well into Massachusetts and is a favorite meeting place that often has events.

The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail (Cheshire Trail) is a straight shot through Hamden’s Summer Concerts to New Havens Critical Mass Ride.

Other trails throughout the state have a lot to offer as well.

Some Events could be: Five Boro Bike Ride, Probus Fairfield Ride, Litchfield Hills, Bike Touring, Etc.

Casual Cycling is a healthy, fun, social activity. Hope to see you out there riding!
