  Then head over to Swanzey Lake and Westport where you merge into the same route as the 55+mile ride. With 4 covered bridges and 7 breweries.

  The overlap allows shorter distance riders the opportunity to ride with friends opting to go the full distance.

  There is an abbreviated route that will take you about 30 miles. With 6 breweries, two covered bridges and two bike bridges.
