The friendship continued to blossom as we texted and shared our hobby photography around CT as well as biking and kayaking I was fortunate enough to continue the relationship by biking along the Trumbull rail trail learning about each otherContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Trumbull Trail”

CT: New Haven County- Farmington Canal Greenway (Biking)
A great bike ride with “eats.” Start off at the lot by the entrance of the York Hill Campus of Quinnipiac University in Hamden. Ride a mostly flat five miles into New Haven passing the elegant architecture of the Yale campus along the way. While I chose to stop and get a great poke bowl,Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Farmington Canal Greenway (Biking)”
CT: Farmington River Trail (Spring Biking)
A great first spring bike ride is the Farmington River Trail. Seems I rode the same trail just a month prior a year ago where I explained the ride (see below link) https://btographytravels.com/2021/03/24/ct-hartford-farmington-river-trail-biking/ So this year I didn’t take as many shots as I got a flat. But it didn’t stop me from noticing theContinue reading “CT: Farmington River Trail (Spring Biking)”

A little bit of Europe in CT walking along the Naugatuck Greenway on Housatonic River. The greenway starts in Derby and is planned for 44 miles to Torrington. I walked a while and found several routes and signs of spring with the weeping willow starting to green and trees filled with cardinals and orioles. ThereContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Naugatuck Greenway & Indian Wells”

I started at Jennings Beach in Fairfield (880 S Benson Road). Once it gets past Labor Day you can park in the lot. I sawContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield to Bridgeport (Biking)”
NY: Catskills Region- Tannersville
The little town of Tannersville was a big win for me! What a rush! First it has a 2.7 mile bike path. It is a dirt and gravel road so better for a hybrid versus road bike but fun nonetheless. You can then return on route 23 through the town to a lovely variety ofContinue reading “NY: Catskills Region- Tannersville”
NY-Hudson Valley- Nyack Beach State Park
Cliffs, river and a path with a view! Looked like a perfect place to discover on my bike. Started at Nyack State Beach park and was definitely impressed as I started my ride along the shoreline of the Hudson River. The first mile to mile and a half was flat with a gravel/dirt path withContinue reading “NY-Hudson Valley- Nyack Beach State Park”
