OK- I know where you are talking about. I have been down part of Quarry Road from the other direction towards Route 20, and it is brutal. I had to walk back up most of the way. It is a real treat for me to go somewhere relatively flat for a bike ride, since there are so many hills around us!

You can only cycle about 3/4 of the way around Otis Reservoir, from East Otis Center to Camp Overflow, which I think is about 13 miles one way. After that, there is a lot of Tolland State Forest property and old logging roads, and lots of good mountain biking.
