I made a shorter loop, starting like you did in Plainville and went straight north until the trail ends at Arch rd. in Avon. West on Arch rd. to route 167, north on Rt. 167 about 2 miles, take left on Woodmont rd. to Route177. North on Route 177 about 2 miles, and it brings you to the Farmington River Trail north of Collinsville at Route 44.. Total around 25 miles. I'd say about 5 miles are road riding.
now in your honest opinion would a belt drive electric longboard be able to make the trail?? is it well paved the entire time?? I would love to take my longboard down this trail would be epppiiiccc.. thanks for any info I could scout it out myself, but always love to hear others opinions... thank you and god bless you and your many mountain biking adventures!! -Pete
We are headed up to the Farmington Canal Loop next month to ride! Thanks for video. It looks like you explore that area often from your other videos. What is your favorite trail in the area and why? Speaking of bears, while we were riding the Greenbrier Rail Trail in WV, we met a couple who had 2 juvinile bears run along side of them playing. I was so jealous . It would have been amazing to get THAT on video. No bears, but still a beautiful ride. Here is the Greenbrier video if your interested in checking out the trail ruclips.net/video/lyysWYoLWmM/видео.html. We subscribed and look forward to future videos.
Bears seem to like hanging around hiking trails. The likely reason is they are hoping to get food from hikers. Some hikers don't think about the consequences of feeding wildlife.
Wow it looks like such a beautiful trail! I'm going there to run soon. Thanks for posting this video. It gave me an idea of what to expect 😊
I don't know...that bear looked pretty big to me! Nice ride you guys. Thanks for posting

Would this terrain suit a road tire/bike?
