Since I started riding the tandem with my daughter my youngest has been bugging me about going for a trail-a-bike ride and since we were having dinner Saturday evening in Trumbull why not get a little riding in. We started out a Tait's Mill, which has a huge parking area. The first three miles of the trail is crushed stone and you have to watch out for the dog walkers with their unleashed dogs. Last fall, I almost ran over a pooch that jumped out in front of me, not on a leash. I would have cut the dog in half at the rate I was going.

Every time I do a profile for the trail it never comes out smooth but Topofusion does a really good job with, better so than all the other programs I have used in the past. From Tait's Mill to Parlor Rock, it's a real smooth climb but from there the variation starts because the original road bed has been compromised by Route 8 and then the bypass by the town dump.
At the turn around point, 5 miles, it was snack time. He is not a snacker like my other two kids so it was really a chance to get some liquids and get back on the trail.
While I see plenty of tire marks through this section I rarely see anyone on this section. That might be because this section between the Trumbull line and Wolfe Park goes atop road, has a small single track section and most be largely unknown to majority of the trail users.
