Dubbed “The Quiet Hell,” this bicycle exploration not only pitted riders against the most challenging unpaved roads of Connecticut’s Windham County but also the mercurial March weather of New England.
The third annual Natchaug Epic will return to a single-day format set for the final Sunday in March. (3/27/22)
Given the success of the COVID-friendly format deployed for 2021, organizers have chosen to adopt a similar wave start system. Riders will be required to show proof of vaccine and a government issued identification to enter registration and the post-ride festivities.
Organizers reserve the right to alter the format of the event subject to the latest public health guidelines issued by the state of Connecticut. With that, outdoor cycling is considered to present a lower risk of infectious transmission. Primary is that the bulk of our activity is a rural bicycle tour of Windham County roads during which participants have minimal contact with each other in a highly ventilated, outdoor activity in a rural environment.
