I was in Guilford a couple of weeks ago, and noticed a huge group of cyclists having coffee on the green. No idea where they started, though. Maybe New Haven? I bet there are weekend shop rides that start there, if you don't find anyone on TE.
Oh, I just found this CT group, that meets on Sundays for a no drop ride:

Is that far from you?

Looks like they might have some other events you may want to check out as well.
