The Moderately Lazy Biker’s Guide to Litchfield County
(and
Just Beyond)
by Rick Sowash
with quotations from Odell
Shepard
and illustrations by Beatrice Stevens
 A
moderately lazy biker loves a long downhill glide, has no
complaint with more or less level terrain, but abhors a steep
climb. Though decidedly hilly, even mildly
mountainous, Litchfield County offers many a glorious ride
for the moderately lazy.
Rick Sowash has taken it upon himself
to study the maps and discover sixteen bike rides in northwestern
Connecticut (and just beyond) that are perfect for the
moderately lazy biker. He has bicycled every foot of these
routes and his directions are precise and delightful. Maps,
mileage, pavement conditions, shoulder widths and points
of interest are all duly noted.
What’s more, this booklet
features gorgeous
etchings of the Litchfield area by Connecticut artist and
illustrator Beatrice Stevens and piquant, poetical quotations
by Odell Shepard, perhaps Connecticut’s greatest admirer and
regionalist writer."
