Northeast AIDSRide 2001

Info: Day Three, 7/21/01

Preston, CT to Cumberland, RI


Total Mileage: approximately 105 miles

This is a VERY long day, so we will need to pace ourselves properly. The good news is that there are not nearly as many hills today, (only 19) and the ones we will encounter are pretty mild.

As we leave Camp we will travel on country roads through some very picturesque and tree lined, rural areas of Connecticut, until finally entering the Ocean State of Rhode Island. As we head towards Westerly, RI, summer traffic may become heavy on this Saturday morning, so we will be especially careful.

Today, we will see Rhode Island like we may have never seen it before. A mix of countryside and ocean as we ride through areas of Charlestown, South Kingstown, North Kingstown, Warwick, Cranston, Providence and others. Our final destination for this day is Diamond Hill Park in Cumberland, RI.
