About the event

2024 QUIET CORNER BIKE TOUR

PRESENTED BY THE THREAD CITY CYCLERS

This is our second year with our new name, Quiet Corner Bike Tour. The routes will be similar to last year with a gentler finish with less climbing for the 20, 40, and 64 mile routes.  Choose your own adventure while cycling Eastern Connecticut's country roads on a fully supported ride. Our century route will still take you through the scenic turns at Devil's Hopyard State Park, and then turn north to explore more of the Quiet Corner with an opportunity for ice cream at Wi-Li-Kit at the last rest stop. You may also choose from routes of 64, 40, 20 miles, or a 25 mile gravel loop, enjoying stunning roads, friendly faces, and more-than-enough great food along the way. Half of the proceeds will go for cycling advocacy to support and improve our local trails and youth cycling.

100 Mile Century

This year our century route will still take you through the scenic turns at Devil's Hopyard State Park, and then turn north to explore more of the Quiet Corner with an opportunity for ice cream at Wi-Li-Kit at the last rest stop. You will also have the option to stop at three other rest stops to fill your water bottle, have some packaged sweet or salty snacks, home baked treats, fruit, and a few other things for cyclists.

64 Mile

The 64 mile ride heads out the same way as the longer routes, taking a turn in Colchester to link up again with the return to Chaplin.  You will visit three of the rest stops used on the longer routes.

40 Mile

The 40 mile ride will head out to the rest stop in Baltic where it joins the other routes on the return to the park.  Two rest stops on this route to make sure you have enough fuel to get you to the finish.

20 Mile

The 20 mile route will have one rest stop that is shared with the other routes. The 20 mile ride will be the shortest route heading out and returning on the same roads as our longer rides

18 Mile Gravel Loop

The 18 mile gravel loop will be using about 8 miles of the Air Line Trail with one rest stop.

FOOD, REST STOPS, & ROUTE SUPPORT

We pride ourselves on our overstocked rest stops and abundant food after the ride.  All ride lengths will have stops stocked with plenty of packaged sweet and salty choices, home baked goodies, fruit, water, and sports drink.  When you return to the park we will have a variety of offerings to make a fresh sandwich with some salads, chips, and fruits before you head home.  All included with the price of the ride.  You won’t go hungry!   Sweep riders and on call support will be provided for anyone needing transport back to the start / finish at the park. Half of the proceeds will go for trail advocacy to support and improve our local trails and youth cycling education.

Ride begins and ends at the Edward Garrison Park located at 495 Phoenixville Road (Route 198), Chaplin CT.
