After that, I hope I don't get lost heading to George Washington Management Area. (It looks like there are only a few small roads connecting it to Rt. 100). Third night in Durfee Hill Management Area. Then, off to Ponaganset Reservoir for more birdwatching.
Outside of that, I would like very much to visit the Scituate Reservoir on the trip, so I will probably take Rt. 44 into Harmony and bang a right. Then, back to Providence to catch the bus. Any spots you can suggest on the reservoir up around N. Scituate?

So far so good. Will you be on a Mountain bike, or a road bike? Google "R.I. North South trail". No good for a road bike. I have way 2many photos of the trail, and other off road trails.
Also Visit " Bike R.I." there is a link there to the state bike map. The roads are all rated for quality of bike rideability. It also shows our state bike paths. That is just what you want. You can print out the map, or send me a P.M. with your mailing address and I can just mail you a map. They are free at R.I. bike shops.
Anywhere around the reservoir is pretty nice. It is a protected watershed water supply, there is no camping right next to the reservoir.
