Any BFers riding the Summer Breeze Century Ride for Autism (http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1688585&assetId=76514891-0B13-45E0-A0C9-401751362BFD)? Thought I'd ask so we could maybe do a meet & greet before or after.

Yes, my wife and I are. We're doing the century ride. We're locals from Essex and we'd be pleased to meet other BF members.
Have you done this ride before? I'm interested in the route but the club's website doesn't show it. I was curious how far north the ride goes.

I haven't, this is my first organized ride of any kind. I've emailed the organizers and asked for a route map, if I get one I will let you know.

I'm only signed for the 50 mile route but I'm going to ask if I can do the metric course instead. Not quite ready for a full 100!

Love to meet up somehow, before or after!

I found this, which I think is the metric route (http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ct/madison/630110952). I haven't found the full century route.

This is an excellent route. I've ridden most of these roads and I ride many of the roads in the northeastern section at least weekly. Too bad they haven't posted the 100 mile route.
