I'm in Litchfield County but very often drive up to Sheffield to ride through Berkshire County and would agree, it's fabulous. Lightly travelled back roads and a high tolerance for bicyclists for the most part. All sorts of roads from flat to rolling to lots of hills. Between, Litchfield, Berkshire, and Columbia Counties, it's a whole world of local riding. Even in winter (uh, but not this last winter....)
