Hill Catalogue

**Bruce22** · 06-13-2008 10:57 AM

Upon my return from California I have only 10 days of no school and unlimited access to a car+gas. I also have nothing to do in terms of chores or work until after school starts. So I'm making a list of all the nice runs within Connecticut and Rhode Island. Help would be appreciated. Don't give away any runs that are secretive, but rather search this site and using the new google maps street view or add runs that you know of. Photos, and links would be helpful in any hill review.

So far

Add Rt. 69 in Prospect, CT (try Rt. 69 and Talmadge Hill Rd. on Google Maps) - Prospect sits on a huge hill. There are 4 main roads to the center of town - ALL are huge hills...

From the Hamden Area - Take Rt. 10 to Gaylord Mountain Rod - follow that to Rt. 69 - take a Right and head towards prospect - you'll be on the big hill a mile before you reach the center of town.

Been hoping Rbriggs bombs this one sometime soon...

Stone road is all stone's. (Unless they paved it in the last 6 months.)

The east side of Providence is pretty manly.

sleeping giant area is so/so in my opinion. ridge road is pretty decent but the roads are real thin and the risk of getting run off of the road is pretty high.
going down goodsell road onto ives street is a pretty good hill, but id have a lookout or something at the stop sign.
anyone been up westrock? the section off of west shephard is really badly paved, but im told it gets better further up.

route 68 in prospect is bananas, went down it once on my garbage sector9 and am too terrified to try it until i get a better setup. tons of traffic

route 69 in bethany towards new haven is about 4 miles of pretty intense dh with really wide medians, tons of traffic.
downs road in woodbridge. ideal road in my opinion. 1.5 miles of downhill with next to no traffic, with good paving. and a sweet location right down the street from academy skate park. about 3 different good sized hills.

rocky top in hamden. never tried it, but very little traffic, 3 hair pins, fairly steep grade.

clark rd in woodbridge, steep steep grade, few sharp turns, good pavement

ill put up some more, but in general; bethany, prospect, woodbridge, and beacon falls all have great hills
