IMG_2948.jpgThey whizzed down the back roads of East Rock Park to meet the rest of a crowd of 200 cyclists and start a journey from East to West Rock. The ride was the brainchild of Joel Tolman (pictured with megaphone). The event was billed as a day-long celebration of Earth Day, and of New Haven’s rich environmental and cultural resources”: visit the website to learn more.

At about 11:30 a.m., the riders set out for the West, making stops in neighborhoods along the way. To share more photos of the event, add a link in a comment below or email us here.
