A hardy crew of cyclists, including Buzz and Karen Climis, kicked off an inaugural Rock to Rock ride with a climb to East Rock’s summit Saturday.
Bikers stopped for a photo opp at the breezy overlook.

They 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.
