This isn’t farm country, but rolling woods and dirt roads for miles. Streams and the Shepaug River flow under bridges at several turns, and in the fall, the rivers are lit from above by the golden leaves of massive sugar maples and yellow birch. 11.5 miles.
The Macedonia Brook tumbles alongside the start of this 16-mile ride in Kent, Connecticut. With plenty of hardpack and gravel, hybrid e-bikes are well-suited to the route.
