Explore places you never knew existed!  We are so lucky to live along the coast and have land to enjoy that is protected forever. This 10-mile bike ride will give you views of Aspetuck Land Trust properties in Fairfield and Westport. The ride is on the quiet streets South of Route 1 and there are a couple small hike opportunities. Start at Ye Yacht Yard in Southport, Fairfield's second marina. Observe all traffic laws and ride single file.
