Western Connecticut Routes
Of all the ways to explore Western Connecticut, electric biking on the backroads puts you in that gorgeous scenery, not just alongside it.
The Macedonia: A Western Connecticut Ride
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.
The Sherman
From Sherman, Connecticut, cross into New York State and ride "The Oblong", a slice of historic disputed territory now given to forest and farm.
The Steep Rock
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.

Further Afield: Brendan T. Byrne State Forest
Late winter is the perfect season for this pine barrens adventure in Brendan T. Byrne State Forest. Unlike other pinelands routes, this one is mostly paved, but the roads through the forest and along the wetlands are remote and isolated.
