I'd love to do a CT ride but I'm now committed on Nov 13. Maybe Nov 14.
Good point. How about dark glasses or squinting?

14th is difficult but not impossible. I'll investigate.

There is just one thing: I plotted and planned favored routes and when I twist and turn, stand sideways and squint with dark glasses at night it is coming to 70 miles. Shooting up and down Rt. 27 and 126 is a mere 62 miles but trafficky and lacking in scenic ness. I'm OK with the distance but guilty of false advertising a metric century.
