Reply to comment by GravitationalOno in Long Distance Cycling: Best way to get from Pomfret, CT to Providence, RI? by GravitationalOno

Sorry, missed this part earlier:

> Where is Barber Hill Road? I could not find it on the map going east from the Summit General Store in Coventry.

It’s in Moosup: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rk1pSf5Dfq2vWEGt5?g_st=ic

Basically the trail from Barber Hill Road east to Summit General Store is either gravel, mud, or brush. They’ve done some preliminary work on the RI side to get it ready for paving (see here and here but there’s no timeline for the actual paving yet.

Ah, I see! I missed it bc it's right at the start and a dead-end road. Good to know. Thank you!

I saw on the maps it's kind of neat that some of the bridges exist to be part of the trail, but yeah, if it's mud or brush, it will be too much of an effort for me to take a chance with. Not to mention if I can't get across some of those waterways, I don't want to be portaging a bike.
