Summer 2022

The first actual month of summer has been a tough one for the DMW staff, but we have high hopes for the remaining days (not that seasons really matter anyhow; all are equally fit for getting lost in the woods).  June saw our corporate office, research labs, and manufacturing facilities all move to beautiful, sunny Hartford.  Come visit some time.  The weather is fine and the trails are great!

As always, I'm full of excuses.  Life happened.  Riding bikes did not.  Here's the new schedule of the most important cycling events in CT this year:

August 26 - XCT-West Petit Depart (now on BikeReg!)

September 10 - The Harwinator

October 8 -Norwich to Windham Overnighter

Also worthy of note is The Eel on October 23. That one ain't mine, however, so if yer legs fall off, or you get eaten by wolves, I can't help ya.  Otherwise, it's a great ride organized by nice guy.

 

But wait!  Before you go run off over the dopamine horizon, clicking the delicious links I've laid out for you below, let's talk a minute about the XCT-West PD next month.  Now, I get it that some of you must be back in school, or otherwise prioritize responsible adulting over riding bikes and sleeping in the dirt.  Obviously, this is dumb, but I have some options prepared for you.

If you can only spare a Friday and Saturday, ride out to Waramaug, spend the night, and turn around.  Here's a great, prepackaged loop:  EC to Waramaug Overnighter

If you can only spare Saturday and Sunday, OR have the legs to bust out one fairly big day, we gotcha covered.  Try this loop that starts at Waramaug :  W-M-L Overnighter

Lastly, for anyone planning to camp out on Friday, DMW has kindly sprung for a campsite at Lake Waramaug State Park.  We can fit six total.  First come, first served.
