Groton A Groton bike advocacy group is proposing to build the first pump track in the local area, as the recreational biking facility grows in popularity.
Bike Groton, a nonprofit cyclist and pedestrian advocacy organization, has started a fundraising campaign for a proposed pump track facility in the Poquonnock Bridge area of town.
A pump track is a continuous circuit of banked turns interspaced by rollers and other features that can be ridden on a bike without pedaling, according to the cycling lifestyle website bermstyle.com. Such facilities are prevalent in Europe and are becoming more common in cities in the United States as municipalities see their value as a community recreational resource, Bike Groton President Brian Kent said. The nearest one is in Madison.

The latest in financial #AdviserTech April 2021
The big news, announcements and underlying trends emerging in the world of technology solutions for financial advisers!
April 19, 2021 35 MINS
This month’s edition kicks off with the big news that AssetMark has acquired UK financial planning software provider Voyant for $145 million, with plans to bring the planning software as a new competitor to the U.S. (in addition to likely integrating it deeply into AssetMark’s own technology stack)The deal highlights both the ongoing rise of financial planning, the dearth of new financial planning competitors with enough market share for strategic acquirers, and the reality that financial planning software continues to be an appealing synergistic value-add not only to investment-centric firms offering financial planning but also asset managers and TAMPs trying to expand into working with more planning-centric advisers.
Groton Two sailboats that were blown ashore on a beach at Bluff Point State Park and Coastal Reserve during a storm last October remain abandoned months later.
The vessels, named Waypoint and Motivation, on the sandy shore have piqued the interest of passersby, such as Stephanie Belser, who walks the Bluff Point trails every two or three days.
Belser said she first noticed the boats, located pretty far down what is officially called Bushy Point Beach, a day or two after a nor easter in October. She called the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to report them and was told the agency had received a lot of calls about the vessels.
