I grew up in the Naugatuck Valley of CT - but never really rode a bike while there. I went back home (family is still there) recently, brought my bike to do some training rides for an upcoming century ride. Boy! Was it frustrating...I couldn't go ANYwhere without this big giant hill looming in front of me!It was only then that I truely appreciated that, yes, the Naugatuck Valley really IS a valley!!!
Yeah...good luck with those hills! CT is a hilly place.

Regina,
Ha ha!
Great post - I appreciate your empathy.
Where and when are you doing your century?
Too bad that we don't live closer. We could have trained together.

It was for the Seagull Century in Salisbury Maryland, run every year Columbus Day weekend. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is VERRRRRY flat! Originally Posted by Over50Newbie

I've never done the RI century, but I'd bet the Seagull is flatter (but windier). I've seen some hills in RI (I went to college there).
