Awesome ride and memory. I assume you rode the Farmington canal trail? Our daughter lives in West Haven not far from that end of your route. How did you get from west haven to the canal trail? We have brought our tandem on many visits but always ended up not riding as we don’t know the area and it is fairly congested relative to our local routes. (Got to keep the stoker happy.)

if the route from west haven to the trail is not great, can you recommend a launch point at the trail? And where is the bridge you mention? TIA
