You don't sound much like a slug, even walking up 10% grades can wind one. I've never been there but you are north and west of my Mom's home town, Frederick, MD. They emigrated to S. Texas when she was a teenager. Thank you for the bridge link. I was able to find a bridge in Litchfield County, CT that I just love. It no longer carries auto traffic but you can walk across it. I don't remember what's on the east side if there is a place to cycle. I never got the chance to cycle in the Litchfield hills. They could be quite challenging, I imagine.
