New Haven - The BIG Loop











Today we met the Berni family & friends and Bruce Truax and his friend Joe in New Haven. The weather started out cloudy and cool and quickly cleared to sunny and warm, a classic New England fall day! It was nice meeting everyone and it was great to see such positive energy in the crowd. The entire group of 12 started out for the first 12 miles together and ended up at a beautiful cafe in Branford on the water. At this point we charged our batteries and the final four (Mark Berni, Bruce Truax and his friend Joe and I) headed off to loop New Haven for an additional 50 miles. What an amazing ride, it had some awesome hills and we were able to see Connecticut and all its fall beauty - riding by the coastline, forests, and lakes. We finished at College Street on the Yale campus in New Haven - ready to eat!! Tomorrow is another big ride in Connecticut as we near the end of our journey. I'm looking forward to seeing the Berni family again as they join me for the finale on Saturday.
