Connecticut
It’s as you cross the border into Connecticut that you start to realize why New England is its own region. Compared to the endless humidity and ugly leafless trees in the winter found in the Mid Atlantic, the shady pines and the better dirt in Connecticut can make your ride that much better. Looking at riding destinations in the state, you might be puzzled as to where the downhill trails are, but I assure you, there are gems waiting to be found.
