Some historic sites along the rides will include the Portland Reservoir and Meshomasic Forest. In the late 19th century and again in the 1940s two quarries in the Meshomasic State Forest were quarried for feldspar and mica. The quarries are still open to the public and rock collectors to explore. From the early 1950s to 1970s Nike Missile Site HA-36 was located off of North Mulford Road in the Meshomasic State Forest. It was one of over 300 missile-defense sites around major cities during the Cold War. Nike Ajax anti-aircraft missiles were located at HA-36 to protect Hartford's aircraft industry from Soviet bombers. There are eight miles of dirt roads, originally built by the CCC, open for seasonal driving in the forest. Hunting, mountain biking, off roading, and hiking are some other activities available in the forest.
Other sites along the road rides include the Arrigoni Bridge which connects Middletown and Portland and Brownstone Adventure Sports Park on the right, which used to supply quality brownstone from New York and Boston to San Francisco, and employed over 1,500 people during the 1850's. More than 25 ships transported the stone to major population centers in the United States, Canada and even England. The brownstone quarries in Portland, Connecticut, owe their existence to millions of years of prehistoric sediments accumulating in the Connecticut River. Quarried as far back as the 17th century, the brownstone around Portland proved soft enough to allow for carving and polishing, making it one of the most desirable materials for gravestone markers and building construction for nearly three centuries. Portland’s location along the Connecticut River allowed for easy transport throughout the state and, later, the world.

HedgeFondo
A premium cycling event rooted in the Litchfield Hills, designed with the care of a world-class riding experience.
Hedgefondo is a thoughtfully produced cycling event built to showcase the
Litchfield Hills as one of the Northeast’s premier road and gravel riding destinations, with easy access from New York and Boston. What began as a small, private ride among investment bankers—hence the name Hedgefondo—quickly grew by word of mouth to more than 250 participants in its first public year, with over 500 riders expected this season from the New York, Connecticut, and Boston regions. Based at Rifugio, a premier active hospitality hub in the Litchfield Hills, the event pairs curated routes with elevated pre- and post-ride hospitality, creating a true basecamp for the day. Hedgefondo is coordinated and spearheaded by KC&E Adventures, a team with over a decade of experience designing premium cycling experiences around the world and featured in Forbes, Men’s Journal, Cycling Magazine, Yankee, and Bicycling.

Gravel: ~30 miles
