    Exploratory trip to Connecticut to check out roads for the 150 mile ride on Aug 22nd.  Catching the 7:30am ferry to Bridgeport.  We'll ride from Bridgeport to New Haven exploring roads that hug the coastline.  While in New Haven, I would like to ride through the campus of Yale University.  We'll then continue east for a bit (perhaps to Guilford) and then return to New Haven where we'll catch a Metro North train (similar to LIRR) from New Haven back to Bridgeport.

    Pack sufficient nutrition and hydration for the trip, however, I do plan to make stops every 20-25 miles.  Bring $$ and/or cc for ferry, train, lunch, etc.  R/T ferry is $39 for adult and $28 for seniors (60+).  Metro North train is about $4 (one-way).

    Parking:  Parking in Port Jeff can be challenging.  There are a few options but I found a free parking lot off Barnum Ave (cross street in Caroline Ave).  Less than 1/4 mile to ferry.
